“OMG! This book is the perfect way to introduce the essence of mindfulness to kids: not by ‘meditating’ but by learning to not take the mind so seriously. Honestly, though, I and a lot of my grown-up students could learn from it too.”—Jay Michaelson, senior editor, Ten Percent Happier, and author of Enlightenment by Trial and Error

“Todd's book is ostensibly for kids, but I’m using it for myself. It’s sweet, funny, beautiful, appropriately gross, and perfect for any child struggling with that very loud mind."—Mary Stancavage, meditation teacher

“I read books to my children and now my grandchildren. I’ve never come across a book that explains so amusingly, and in terms children can easily understand, that our minds play bad tricks on us. This book helps explain these tricks, providing us with a first step to finding serenity again.”—Isabella Rossellini, actor

“Pick this up! Todd writes beautifully about brains. Which makes sense—he’s clearly got a brilliant one himself.”—Alex Edelman, comedian and writer

“Your Mind Makes Thoughts Like Your Butt Makes Farts is about the most useful analogy I’ve ever heard for the relentless brain chatter we all hear. This funny book has exactly the right amount of grossness to keep every eight-year-old mindfully enjoying a book about mindfulness. Don’t let the boogers scare you off; the message is spot on.”—Michael Ian Black, author and comedian

“Teachers are counseled to speak in the idiom of the people. The salutary effects of metacognition cannot simply be recommended to children: we must speak in the language of farts. I trust this funny/serious book will afford children new insights into their inner life and help them become a little less intimidated by the off-gassing of their brains.”—Matthew Brensilver, PhD, UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center, co-author of Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolescents

“Knowing images can be powerful teachers, to help everyone in the family take thoughts less seriously and find a little perspective and playfulness around them, Todd Strauss-Schulson came up with surprising analogies. Phil McAndrew was clearly up to the task of making these illustrations unforgettable. Together, they'll take you on a fun and highly liberating ride!”—Pascal Auclair, meditation teacher

“I wish I had had this funny, thoughtful book growing up as an anxious child. Maybe I’d be less stressed about writing this blurb. I am SO stressed writing this blurb. Can one of you please write it for me?”—Megan Amram, TV writer, The Good Place, The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation

“This book elegantly (and sometimes disgustingly) explains a concept that it takes most people their entire lifetimes to learn: mindfulness. Every kid should have this read to them. Every person should read this!”—Emily V. Gordon, writer and producer

“As an anxious little girl with an overactive mind, I wish I had this book. Luckily, now I get it as an anxious adult woman!”—Zoe Lister-Jones, actor, producer, director, and writer

“It's funny because it's true! A delightful child's point of view of a truth adults need to commit to memory; thoughts are not facts.”—Richard LaGravenese, screenwriter, The Fisher King and The Bridges of Madison County
