Reviews for Handbook of Mindfulness-Based Programmes: Mindfulness Interventions from Education to Health and Therapy
This book is a celebration of mindfulness as a fully scientific, well-adapted system for an active life in the West. Every intervention presented here is a living proof that Mindfulness has become a prominent antidote to our Western malaise: a hyperactive, distracted and scattered mind that knows no satisfaction. As part of this burnout society, in which we are constantly everywhere and nowhere, this book, driven by both academic passion and deep compassion, signifies a landmark in our understanding of human suffering and its cure. - Shai Tubali, author of Indestructible You: Building a Self that cannot be Broken Cleary written, enjoyable and mind-expanding, this book is a must-read! The chapters go well beyond providing a theoretical understanding, updating and organizing the expansive variety of mindfulness-based work with page-turning case examples and wide-ranging transformative activities that we could all begin using immediately. - Francis Kaklauskas PsyD CGP FAGPA, lead editor of Brilliant Sanity: Buddhist Approaches to Psychotherapy Encyclopaedic in its range, this book performs a vitally important role. It collates and succinctly describes every significant mindfulness therapy and program, and so provides an essential resource for anyone who practices or studies mindfulness, and anyone who would like to benefit from it. - Steve Taylor Ph.D., author of The Leap, and Spiritual Science.
