Chill Out People
If there was a way you could feel better about yourself, calmer, happier in your life, better able to deal with your family and friends and more able to accept what is going on in your life, would you do it? Oddly, most people don't. A daily meditation practice can help with all these things. What better time to sit down and calm down than right now? If you need some guidance, check out one of these books on meditation or mindfulness.

Ok, you might think I'm joking, but this children's book featuring The Cat in the Hat actually follows common meditation practices.
