Losing My Mind, Mindfully

Author: Róisín Erskine

Róisín Erskine is passionate about play, lifelong learning, and exploring our sense of self. Her debut memoir, a creative non-fiction work, is the result of a decade spent learning, testing, and sharing mindfulness practices.

Through a range of life events, ranging from the mundane to the awe-inspiring or devastating, Róisín offers insights into human nature, demonstrating how we often work against ourselves, believing we have life figured out but forgetting that everything can change in an instant.

Roisin challenges today’s cultural definitions of happiness, comfort, and contentment. She encourages the reader to see meditation as more than simply quieting the mind but rather as the letting go of unnecessary mental and emotional baggage, laying old paradigms to rest, and leaning into discomfort with equanimity. It demands honesty with ourselves as we discard the safety of familiar masks and discern what we allow into our worldview in this post-truth era.

At its heart, this book is about intimacy, hope, and infinite potential.
