This book a great resource and excellent tool. The exercises are both effective and easy to follow. The techniques for MSRB (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) really work. I’m very glad to have this book and I’ve really enjoyed it.

There are so many aspects to this book that are wonderful, from the “mindful” side of the instructions, the workouts, and even the mp3 CD that comes with it. So well thought out, I haven’t established a routine yet, like most I know, I find myself either too busy or too tired to make time for one. I am slowly working my way through the ideas presented here and can see it is almost, a one stop place for ideas to help ease the stresses of life in more than one simple idea, while not being overly complex either.

Despite the intimidating size and length of this workbook, I found it to be a simply helpful, readable, and encouraging resource for personal growth.
You may know of, and feel challenged by, the commitment of time or involvement with group experience related to the 8-week version of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programs offered around the country (I completed one a few years ago). Or, like me, you may have experienced the program, enjoyed it, and yet find yourself drawn to particular aspects of mindfulness practice. So whether you want to learn about and experience mindfulness at your own pace and in your own space, or if you just want to focus on specific practices and have guidance with that, this is the book for you.
Like other reviewers, I also found the companion CD to be of great use (maybe more than the book itself).
Get this book, and get started!

I’m a psychotherapist, and so have a number of self-help workbooks on my shelf. Most are somewhat useful, but a bit perfunctory. This offering takes a more holistic and unique approach to stress than most anxiety-reduction resources. Those who find the Buddhist-inspired path of meditation and mindfulness appealing will find much to like here– a coherent approach to follow as well as meaningful, helpful, concrete techniques for coping with and reducing stress in our lives. The CD is a nice addition, too.
Recommended.
