My Year of Living Mindfully

Overwhelmed by insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, award-winning health journalist Shannon Harvey needed a change. She found plenty of advice on diet, sleep and exercise, but nothing like a 30-minute workout for the mind. Worried for her own health and her children’s, she enlisted a team of scientists to put meditation to the test. Over a year, Shannon is poked, prodded, scanned and screened on a 30,000 kilometre journey from Manhattan to the refugee camps of the Middle East. What begins as a self-experiment becomes a life-changing experience, full of compelling stories, groundbreaking science and unexpected insights.

“One of the more insightful, practical and straight-talking personal testimonies on the subject.”

Fiona Capp, Pick of the Week, Sydney Morning Herald

Being healthy in this crazy, busy, modern world is not easy.

For Shannon Harvey, journalist and filmmaker behind The Connection, it became personal when she was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease and told she could end up in a wheelchair. Her ten-year search for answers took her through thousands of scientific papers and around the world to interview leading researchers from institutions such as Harvard and Stanford. Along the way she met people with remarkable stories of recovery and sorted the quacks from the experts.
