## Description

How does mindfulness promote psychological well-being? What are its core mechanisms? What value do contemplative practices add to approaches that are already effective? From leading meditation teacher Christina Feldman and distinguished psychologist Willem Kuyken, this book provides a uniquely integrative perspective on mindfulness and its applications. The authors explore mindfulness from its roots in Buddhist psychology to its role in contemporary psychological science. In-depth case examples illustrate how and why mindfulness training can help people move from distress and suffering to resilience and flourishing. Readers are guided to consider mindfulness not only conceptually, but also experientially, through their own journey of mindfulness practice.

Review: A gem not to be missed - Down-to-earth and artfully crafted- using easily understandable language to explain the roots of mindfulness in ancient Buddhist wisdom and links to modern psychology. The stories / experience of participants of mindfulness programmes included to illustrate the concepts adds further human touch to the book. Co-authored by Christina Feldman, a teacher of teachers, and Willem Kuyken, psychology professor and Director, University of Oxford Mindfulness Research Centre; their thoughtfulness and care can be felt through the words. A reference book for mindfulness teacher trainings and highly recommend to all those interested in the practice.
Review: An interdisciplinary bridging of mindfulness arenas - Dialogue between fields can be difficult yet important, and between the fields of science and religion is a prime example. This book kindly explores into the interdisciplinary junctures of Buddhism, psychology and mindfulness. It provides answers and questions for today and years to come. I appreciate how it offers numerous perspectives and seems skillfully unwed to proclaiming what is the “right answer” such as by offering no less than 9 definitions of mindfulness, and 13 metaphors. Mindfulness is something personally experienced and while experts may define it, it is really ours to discover. This book helps dive into this domain, respecting some of the historical roots of mindfulness while exploring its meaning and value in psychology. I feel that at this time in history, it is important to avoid cultural appropriation of Buddhist elements, while simultaneously fostering mindfulness to be accessible and welcoming to people no matter what their background. The book explores into this challenging and important area, and I am grateful to the authors for doing so. Respectful, curious, discerning dialogue across disciplines and ideologies in this age is key to wise personal and societal growth; these courageous authors have stepped up to the call to do this work.
