Mindfulness is exceptionally easy to get started with, and people often experience benefits almost immediately. Why, then, do many initial enthusiasts end up dropping the practice after a short while? According to Oxford professor and leading mindfulness expert Willem Kuyken, it's because traditional mindfulness training is too far removed from how we actually live. This next-generation resource brings mindfulness home by teaching core skills in easy-to-integrate ways that touch directly on life's daily challenges. Dr. Kuyken provides stepping stones to help you build a personal practice that is sustainable, purposeful, and richly rewarding--now and for years to come. Interweaving ancient wisdom and modern scientific psychology, the book includes stories, quotations, reflection questions, tips for overcoming hurdles, and compelling guided practices, including audio tracks and video clips at the companion website.
