Summary
Mindfulness is exceptionally easy to get started with, and people often experience benefits almost immediately. Why, then, do many initial enthusiasts end up dropping the practice after a short while?
According to Oxford professor and leading mindfulness expert Willem Kuyken, it's because traditional mindfulness training is too far removed from how we actually live. This next-generation resource brings mindfulness home by teaching core skills in easy-to-integrate ways that touch directly on life's daily challenges. In his calm, encouraging voice, Dr. Kuyken provides stepping stones to help you build a personal practice that is sustainable, purposeful, and richly rewarding--now and for years to come. Interweaving ancient wisdom and modern scientific psychology, the book includes stories engagingly read by multiple narrators, quotations, reflection questions, tips for overcoming hurdles, and compelling guided practices.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"In this wonderfully clear book, internationally renowned psychologist Willem Kuyken explains why and how mindfulness practice can help you 'light up your life with a sense of reconnection and love.' Whether you are new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, this is a book to treasure--step by step, it reveals ways to reorient toward your deepest values and lead a life worth living."--Mark Williams, DPhil, coauthor of The Mindful Way Through Depression
“This book is not just about inner change; it is about how we live our lives. Dr. Kuyken provides tools for making a critical shift from judgment, blame, and aversion to curiosity and kindness. His skillful guidance allows us to make--and commit to--small shifts that can help us become the flourishing, engaged, and responsive people we long to be.”--Christina Feldman, author of Boundless Heart
"This thoughtful and kind scientist offers a wise framework for a life well lived. The book creates opportunities to cultivate a better friendship with your body and mind."--Eric B. Loucks, PhD, author of The Mindful College Student
