This book lives up to its title. It provides a clearly written introduction to the art of practicing and using mindfulness meditation in clinical settings, and a good survey of the scientific research. The book includes a valuable summary of the benefits that therapists themselves may gain from mindfulness meditation. This is an excellent introduction to the field.

The recent growth in understanding of what mindfulness is and how it can be used in psychotherapy to resolve emotional suffering would undoubtedly make the Buddha smile. This excellent book is another link in the path. If you want to learn more about mindfulness, I also recommend 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation', available through Amazon.

I bought this book as a gift for a family member who is a therapist but ended up enjoying it immensely myself. Its packed with insightful theory, practical advice and illustrative examples!

I've been working in a pressure-filled environment for some time and haven't been able to find a book that will help me de-stress in a positive and enlightening manner. I picked up this book on a whim and haven't regretted it. Engaging and down to earth, it has become my newest outlet after a long work week.

A great read for practitioners and lay people alike. An easy read that provides a wealth of information. I highly recommend this book.

This is a superb book on mindfulness that will serve as an excellent read and resource for those interested in this area of inquiry.

The book was delivered quickly and was in good condition. Everything was great in this transaction and I'm excited to dive into this book! Thank you
