As a psychiatrist, Brendan Kelly is used to doling out
prescriptions and advice. This is the story of what happened when
he decided to try his own medicine and take up meditation for a
year. Can this busy psychiatrist, dad and Buddhism enthusiast
improve his life by meditating for 15 minutes every day? Will it
improve his relationships with his family and patients? Will he
find inner peace and, if so, how will he know that he has? Will he
ever be more mindful than Trixie, the cat that peacefully observes
his daily practice, always seeming more zen than the meditating
doctor? This is the journal of a self-confessed 'Zen failure' who
believes there is much to be said for sitting quietly but soon
realises that there are also many distractions. The Doctor Who Sat
for a Year is a funny, thoughtful and inspiring book about
embracing both mediation and our imperfections. 'An excellent
introduction to the path of meditation ... The author describes
both how difficult meditation can be in the face of daily
distractions and, ultimately, how easy it becomes when simple
choices are put in place.' Michael Harding 'In a world where
constantly being busy is seen as a virtue, the book explores the
benefits of embracing meditation, set against a wry look at our
human imperfections.' INMO
