About this listen
“Want a happier, more contented life? I highly recommend the down-to-earth methods you’ll find in Mindfulness. Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman have teamed up to give us scientifically grounded techniques we can apply in the midst of our everyday challenges and catastrophes.” Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence
Life can be relentless, frantic and exhausting - but it doesn’t have to be this way.
This is an introduction to Mindfulness, which reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion. Mindfulness is based on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which is recommended by the UK’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and is as effective as drugs for preventing depression. But, more importantly, it also works for the rest of us who aren’t depressed but are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.
By investing just a few minutes each day, you can learn the simple mindfulness meditations at the heart of MBCT. This audio edition is an introduction to the technique which will give you the tools to put you back in control and able to enjoy life again.

Learning about Mindfulness
Wonderful audio book about practicing Mindfulness. Only criticism is the Mindfulness exercises are not named so it’s not easy to just pick and choose. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn about and start practicing Mindfulness.

Great for beginners looking to begin being mindful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrators voice was pleasant to listen to and nice and calm and relaxing. I would recommend this book to people who struggle to meditate or be 'in the moment' ... The great thing is that the mindfulness exercises are only 8-15min long, to be practised twice a day.... So for me (who usually falls asleep during long meditations) this worked well. It also gives you a chance to try all different sorts of meditation, moving, guided, laying, seated etc and find one style that works well for you.

MIndfulness - beginning steps
If you could sum up Mindfulness in three words, what would they be?
It was a good basic introduction to the concepts. Need to read the full text to get to the guts of it.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I have not been brought up to consider this side of my being. Obviously, there is much more to me to explore.
Any additional comments?
A great intro to the basics, read it, learn, and grow. Good luck!

Foster peace and acceptance in your life
Very practical and helpful guide to mindfulness. Clear and easy to understand. Useful mindfulness activities at the end. Most are short and doable for the beginner. Just a few minutes of regular practice can improve daily coping, reduce stress and have a positive effect on your overall wellbeing.
