Rezensionen

"Overall, the book is a fresh look at mindfulness that
incorporates bringing the reader back to the basics, unpicking
concepts and then leading them on a rich and personal journey with
the author to self-awareness and integrating mindfulness into
everyday lives." (British Psychological Society,
18 November 2014)

"Bringing a rich set of personal experiences to bear on
nearly every point or bit of guidance, this book is both a personal
story and a deep exploration of mindfulness as a concept and
method. Mindfulness is more than paying attention: it is paying
attention in a particular way. Wise and deeply aware of his impact
on the reader, Dr. Sears embraces the challenge of teaching that
"particular way" by letting his writing embody it. Reading this
book is itself a kind of extended mindfulness exercise. Highly
effective; highly recommended--Steven C. Hayes, Author of Get
Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life"
