Executive director, Canadian Mental Health Association, Winnipeg region

"I have just finished reading an amazing book called What Is the What by Dave Eggers. It is the story of a Sudanese lost boy, and it is heartbreakingly beautiful. I am halfway through You Have to Be Careful in the Land of the Free by James Kelman, who is a great storyteller if you can read Scottish. (Who knew it was an actual language onto itself?). I also have A Year to Live by Stephen Levine, The Zen Heart by Ezra Bayda and Start Where You Are by Pema Chodron in the pile. These are the books I read in between the others to support the development of mindfulness. Most are on a second read, except the Chodron, which I just started and I am finding to be very grounding."
