Mindfulness, Mental Health, and Relationships

Jacob Hess is lead author of The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints. With Phil Neisser, he wrote You’re Not as Crazy as I Thought, But You’re Still Wrong, and is a former board member of the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation. Jacob’s life work is dedicated to making space for thoughtful, good-hearted people to find understanding (and affection) while exploring together the deepest of disagreements. He and his sweetheart Monique live in Paradise, Utah having some modest success raising four boys and a baby girl —and proving to be reliably mediocre in raising chickens,  goats and an embarrassingly deficient vegetable garden.   

He has a substack at publishpeace.net and his next book, The Practice of Stillness, is coming out later this year.
