Happiness = Mindfulness. Don't take our word for it, some of the greatest authors, philosophers, scientists, and leaders of all time agree:
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." - Henry David Thoreau
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Buddha
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." - Albert Einstein
"We are always getting ready to live but never living." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Confine yourself to the present." - Marcus Aurelius
You may have been exposed to the concept of the now through reading a self help book on the subject, some of the most popular being “The Precious Present” by Spencer Johnson M.D., “Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, and "Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World" by Mark Williams. Like all self help books, they only help if you put the concepts into practice and that is exactly what The Now was created for.

I really enjoy the quotes daily in my busy hectic life. It is five star all the way!
Lack of Diversity
What2Wear
In the past, I would have given a 5 star review. I used to love changing the background images to customize them. There was a fantastic range of nature-related or inanimate object backgrounds to select from. I just tried to change the image and found that the majority of them were of people. And those people, even those with faded images, were all White. Whether it was intentional or not is unimportant. What is important is the lack of diversity and that other races, ethnicities, or nationalities are not represented. Overall, I love the app, but there either needs to be less people or to include people that represent the various hues of the human race.
Absolutely love all the inspirational quotes

Need to Reflect Diversity

I like many of the quotes, but I’d ask the developers to expand to include more women and people of color in the quotes and in the pictures. Thank you.

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thank you so much for creating this app. It’s been essential in my life :) A small bug that I have encountered: sometimes when I click on the quote to open it in your app, the quote will disappear and I won’t be able to find it. There have been some beautiful quotes I have forgotten because of this. The action is as follows: Lockscreen > Click “The Now” notification > Unlock iPhone > “The Now” opens > different quote is displayed Hope this helps! :)
