This is one of the best introductions to mindfulness for anyone wishing to get started with mindfulness practice on their own. This eight-week guide is based on the MBCT programme. There’s enough theory here to be motivating and inspiring, but not enough to get bogged down in. This is a clear and concise, no-nonsense, get-on-with-it guide – and will likely answer any doubts or misgivings you might have about mindfulness meditation. In the author’s own words
‘This is a book about how you can find peace and contentment in such troubled and frantic times as these. Or rather, this is a book about how you can rediscover them; for there are deep wellsprings of peace and contentment living inside us all, no matter how trapped and distraught we might feel.’
It comes with a CD, (there are some free meditations online), and there is fortunately also an app now for a one-off fee (for those of you for whom CDs are a relic of the past). The Audible version will of course have the meditations included.
