Star Wars: The Jedi Mind

by Amy Ratcliffe

tar Wars: The Jedi Mind is an canon self-help book on mindfulness basics and letting go. Written by Amy Ratcliffe with accompanying illustrations by Christina Chung, the book was published by Chronicle Books on November 10, 2020.[1] Inspired by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's meditation in the Force mid-combat, Ratcliffe's book connects the Jedi teachings of Star Wars by quote, character, or moment, to a real-life aspect of mindfulness on each page, where it includes a suggested practice for readers. The Jedi Mind takes from teachings of acceptance and letting go from the three film trilogies and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels TV series.
