HEARTFUL LIVING, MINDFUL WORKING
Find balance in your life in 7 steps
In 7 steps this book gives you clear insights and practical tools to cope better with the pressure of (working) life and to experience more inner strength, vitality, happiness and a good work-life balance. Based on the parable of “the samurai and his mother” David brings together all elements of mindfulness and heartfulness in a simple model. This model is also applicable for companies and organizations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
David Dewulf goes far beyond the predictable hype, beyond stres-reduction of measurable efficiency in this book. Silence, not knowing, humor, friendliness, compassion, room for difficult times: every contribution, how small it may be, of these values is of major importance in this overheated society. Important is also that this book invites rather than prescribes, gives choice and does not judge. I can only hope that this ethical fundament of this unconditional openess finds as much spreading as possible.
Professor Dirk De Wachter , University of Leuven, psychiatrist and author of best-selling books e.g. “Borderline Times”
This book is an invitation to be open to the many experiences and possibilities in life. I hope that a lot of people may experience of the benefits of attention, silence and unprejudiced observing and that they can live with more kindness towards theirselves and their environment.

MINDFULLY HAPPY
7 sources of inner joy
This book allows you to awaken a new power in you: that of inner joy and inner happiness, not determined by what people say or do not say, do or do not do. Now you can find inner happiness, and let the joy of being alive flow through you. It takes a week to read this book and to bring wisdom into your life.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a wonderful book about that which every human being longs for: happiness. It is rooted in the old eastern wisdom of the buddha, but it offers plenty of practical tips to live a more satisfying life in our modern western society. The form is approachable, the content is timeless. Impossible to not be inspired.
Paul Van Hooydonck , Founder of the Ehipassiko Boeddhist Center in Antwerp (Belgium)
This light-hearted, joyful, inviting book, written by a physician who has become one of Europe’s leading mindfulness teachers, can help anyone taste the joys of embracing life as it presents itself in the present moment. Through clear examples, Dr. Dewulf helps us awaken to the age-old truth that modern psychological science now corroborates: it is not the circumstances of our lives, but our reactions to those circumstances that determine our happiness. Blending insights from ancient Eastern wisdom traditions with practical, common sense guidance and simple, easy-to-follow exercises, Mindfully Happy provides a path out of everyday stress and negativity toward a lighter, more engaged, more fulfilling life.

Author, The Mindfulness Solution: Everyday Practices for Everyday Problems
I can recommend this book to anyone, and surely to those who find themselves in a difficult period. Using the 7 sources of inner joy, every day again, as good as you can, will offer you a wonderful way to re-establish happiness back into your life. If your heart is broken, the risk is to harden yourself and build a wall around your heart or to stay dwelling in your grief. This book offers you a third way, namely saying “yes” to life with its beautiful but also its dark side. The good thing about this book is that it is very easy to read and applicable for those who know nothing about meditation or mindfulness yet. That’s was my own experience during a most difficult part of my life.
Dr. Bruno Ariens, general practitioner and author of “To arise awake” and “Sleep Tight”
ACCEPTING YOURSELF
with mindfulness and compassion
Accepting yourself, doesn’t it sound obvious? Unfortunately, we are often very critical of ourselves. We set the bar so high, as if ‘happiness’ lies above it. We try to be good so that everyone acknowledges us. We long for unconditional love, but put ourselves in a harness of conditions. Accepting yourself with mindfulness and compassion is an invitation to come home to yourself, as you are now. The book and the unique mindfulness meditations on the accompanying CD’s assist you step by step.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In a wise, gentle voice, David Dewulf offers a delightful sequence of exercises that will gradually open your heart to itself. He understands the struggle that we all feel to accept ourselves. The author has a unique, integrated vision of mindfulness and compassion that moves us from the story-self to the now-self. The exercises and meditations presented in this book, along with the accompanying CD’s, are an invaluable companion to anyone who wishes to rediscover their own goodness and to live life more fully

Self-acceptance is without a doubt important when it comes to confronting life and its difficulties. We all understand the importance of a loving and kind relationship with ourselves, but the intellectual concept is not enough, there is also a need for an embodied practice; emotional and physical. Mindfulness offers us an ideal path for this practice. This practical and friendly book shows you how to walk this path.
