All it takes is 10 Mindful Minutes- Andy Puddicombe

We live in a world where we are “so distracted that we are no longer present and we miss out on the things that are most important to us.” Meditation offers a means of slowing life down and enjoying the big picture rather than being caught up in the small stressors of the moment. …show more content…

In comparison to other literature I’ve researched, this article takes a similar perspective on the benefits of mindfulness, but it is more effective because of the personal approach that Puddicombe takes. He describes meditation as a means to take care of our mind and prevent stress because it allows you to look at life’s full picture rather than the present moment that we are experiencing. He used a visualization of him juggling to demonstrate that in order to fully experience life, we have to have the correct proportion of relaxation and

In “Just relax and enjoy it,” Mark Vaughn, writer for Autoweek magazine, uses a sardonic tone to establish stress necessary for the future, by focusing on population control, instead of pollutants from cars. Vaughn suggests that even though the uses of electric cars (or not driving a car) might stop some pollution on the planet, pollutants have already been produced in the air and it would be meaningless to try to resolve that situation. Also, according to Vaughn, he states that the U.S has consumed many resources and if other countries become developed, like the U.S., the consumption of resources would increase dramatically; which, would make a negative impact on the world that could not be solved.

Vaughn’s claim has many strong points to describe his idea of a solution; however, his solution has many flaws; due to, not thoroughly describing the idea of population control.
