Great events are @ your library

Rosanna Library was lucky enough to have Dr Christine Maingard speak about her new book Think Less, Be More last week.
Christine has a unique blend of qualifications and experience in educational psychology, cognitive behaviour, organisational learning, business management and leadership. Her understanding and knowledge are grounded in her work as a senior corporate executive, an academic and a specialist in adult learning.

Her own ‘transformation’ from working in stressful and complex environments to learning how to slow down and think less has taught her that being mindful is pivotal to our health and wellbeing.

Writing THINK LESS, BE MORE was for Christine a ‘speaking from the heart’ as the seeds for the book were borne out of a deep desire to reach out to the world and to inspire others find meaning and joy in the here and now, no matter what the circumstances.

Christine describes her journey through life as fortunate because of what she has learned through others. She believes that we all have this opportunity available to us. Every individual we truly connect with is teaching us something invaluable – it may be about the beauty that lies within all of us, or perhaps patience and tolerance or learning how to see things from a different perspective.

Christine believes that we all can learn to slow down and simply be rather than anxiously rushing along with our thinking minds and the fast pace of our lives. With THINK LESS, BE MORE Christine shows us how to.

Christine’s favourite saying: Life is a series of moments. There is no past, there is no future. Therefore, the totality of everything is in this moment. Peace, joy, contentment and successful action in any well-intended endeavours always flow from simply being in this moment with a clear and calm mind.
