Vow-Powered Life: A Simple Method for Living with Purpose by Jan Chozen Bays

Zen teacher Jan Chozen Bays, author of Mindful Eating, explains how making a vow, consciously setting an intention, can be a powerful mindfulness practice.

Looking to traditional Buddhist teachings on vows, she applies them broadly to the vows people make, from smiling at someone each day to vowing to save all sentient beings. The book won a 2016 IPPY Gold Medal for Self Help.
