The Renaissance M. A. N. Michael A. Nardi makes it even simpler in his second book to learn how to love yourself in a complex world.  This is for everyday people, who have no time for spirituality.  This simple practice with anecdotes of daily problems like “the blasted copier” or “the killer commute” gives examples of common challenges with simple solutions.  They all revolve around the simple practice of breathing to ten and and again and again.  Buy it soon on your amazon kindle or for your ipod!
