MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices
that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of
unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote
genuine joie de vivre. It''s the kind of happiness that gets into
your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the
worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is
based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy MBCT. MBCT revolves
around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes
just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT
has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for
depression and it is recommended by the UK''s National Institute of
Clinical Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it
also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling
to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.
MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than
banishing unhappiness. It''s precisely focused to help ordinary
people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also
reducing anxiety, stress and irritability.
