Mindfulness for Life

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. 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, quotations, reflection questions, tips for overcoming hurdles, and compelling
guided practices, including audio tracks at the companion website.
