His journey will open your mind to the possibilities of mindfulness -- Polly Vernon * Sunday Telegraph * Teach us to Sit Still made me laugh; it made me cry; and it made me seriously think about taking up Vispassana meditation -- Will Self * The Times * A searingly honest, viscerally vivid, darkly comic self-examination of the connections between writing personality and health. Once I started reading it, I didn't want to stop -- David Lodge * Guardian * This is a crazy, wince-inducing, uplifting book...
