About the Book

A Mindful Life by Dr. Tom Dickerson
**A Mindful Life** describes Dr. Tom Dickerson’s quest for a lifestyle filled with peace and balance in a world that often undermines personal freedom and serenity. In this book, Dr. Dickerson reflects on how his childhood sense of oneness with the universe—characterized by joy and wonder—has been overshadowed by the worries, anger, and feelings of victimization that often accompany adulthood. He mourns the way many twenty-first-century adults have become trapped in a quest for acceptance, surrendering to societal pressures and making choices based on unrealistic assumptions and judgments. Dr. Dickerson explains that rediscovering his childhood sense of openness would require more than just a simple decision. It would necessitate a deep dive into his psyche to gain a profound understanding of his true self. He emphasizes the importance of developing mindfulness, self-awareness, strength, and courage to achieve a truly mindful life. This book provides valuable insights and practical advice that can benefit everyone.

This is the first book in a three-book series. A Mindful Life introduces Dr. Dickerson’s philosophy and serves as an introduction to “A New Day,” which advances it, offering a life of peace and harmony. The third book, “I AM,” in this series incorporates spirituality to promote self-awareness, self-actualization, and self-transcendence and will be available in August 2026.
