Mindfulness - A Practical Guide To

Finding Peace In A Frantic World

By Mark Williams and Danny Penman

Hailed as a ‘life-changing bestseller’, this book

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. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based

Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which revolves around a

straightforward form of mindfulness meditation and

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. Also

includes an audio CD in a plastic wallet inside the

back cover

Full Catastrophe Living

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Written by mindfulness pioneer, Jon

Kabat-Zinn, this book is a manual

for helping you to develop your own

personal meditation practice and for

learning how to use mindfulness to

promote improved health and healing

in your life. An amazing resource for all

those keen to explore mindfulness.

The Ladybird Book

of Mindfulness

Jason Hazeley

For an altogether different take on

mindfulness, this book forms part of

the Ladybird books series designed to

help grown-ups with the world about

them – but in a fun and irreverent

way. Lots of fun but unlikely to lead to

spiritual enlightenment.
