Darren Cockburn is back sharing how being present can overcome addiction in his new book Being Present: Cultivate a Peaceful Mind through Spiritual Practice.

Being present opens the door for self-examination and healing on all levels. We focused on addictions for this interview, however, Darren shares how meditation, stillness, ego, and more affect the whole being.

Darren is passionate about helping people live in the present moment and cultivate a peaceful mind- through books, the media, and training. His acclaimed books Being Present and Living a Life of Harmony are available worldwide.

The books and teachings are based on a synthesis of Buddhist, yoga philosophy, the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and his own insights.
