About this audiobook

‘The key to happiness is recognising that yes, this is it. You're all you have to work with and this moment is the only one you can have any control over. And this is incredibly empowering, because everything you need is already there and the tools are already in your hands. You are your greatest project – this is it.’ This is It is a practical meditation guide that uses humour to teach the benefits of mindfulness through a series of accessible techniques. It’s also a hilarious account of one man’s attempt to find peace in a chaotic life, and follows his journey from the bogs of Kildare to the bright lights of LA, and on to enlightenment in India. However, despite travelling the world he found that much of the wisdom he discovered had parallels in Irish attitudes to life, that there’s an intersection between ancient wisdom and what Irish people lick off the stones. Now a meditation teacher in Berlin, Morocco and Dublin, Conor gently and skilfully explains the lessons he’s learned along the way to finding peace, and with warmth, wit and wisdom guides you on the path to a more mindful life.

About the author

Author, journalist, coach and meditation teacher, Conor Creighton has been travelling the globe as a reporter, a motivational speaker and a meditation teacher for nearly 20 years. Conor is the author of two books, and has been published in the Guardian, the Irish Times and Vice Magazine. He's won the Irish Travel Journalist of the Year Award, the Gwaertler Foundation Award and the Simon Cumbers Media Fund on three occasions. He came to meditation in 2012, and quickly became immersed in the study of mindfulness meditation and vipassana meditation. He trained in India with the Dalai Lama and at the Redwood Institute in San Francisco. He has sat several long retreats, and studied a number of meditation types. Conor's teaching is a cross-pollination of ancient techniques and contemporary wisdom. Conor is a down to earth teacher and a natural storyteller, a skill he learned in part from his many years as a writer, but also as a bartender. He is based in Berlin and Dublin.
