For all of us who've crammed yoga, meditation, and self-care into our lives, there's just one thing missing on our daily slog toward serenity: a laugh. With rainbow-free visualizations ripped from real life, Very Modern Mantras will have you mastering the meditations that really matter, like Mantra for Starbucks; Mantra for the Airport Security Line; Mantra for Open-Plan Office, and Mantra for Public Transportation. Finally, a way to find inner peace without losing your sense of humor.

Reviews

Goodreads review by William on May 20, 2024

Very Modern Mantras is for a specific group of people. I am not included in this set of people, so the humor is lost on me. It isn't funny. Do you know the Socially Awkward Penguin meme?

Goodreads review by Deb on July 17, 2020

Ok, this book is hysterical! I find I need to take time to find the lighter side of things, and this book has it. Need a mantra for standing in line at Starbuck's? This book has it. Pretty much any conceivable frustrating experience you have almost on the daily, has a mantra to go with it.......more
