About this listen

 MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre. It's the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clinical Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It's precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability.©2011 Danny Penman Mental Health Mood Disorders Personal Development Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Spirituality

Critic Reviews

An inspiring programme for anyone who caring about his or her own health and sanity (Jon Kabat-Zinn)
Peace can't be achieved in the outside world unless we have peace on the inside. Mark Williams and Danny Penman's book gives us this peace (Goldie Hawn)
Want a happier, more content life? I highly recommend the down-to-earth methods you'll find in MINDFULNESS (Daniel Goldman, bestselling author of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE)
A deeply compassionate guide to self care, simple and profound (Sir Kenneth Branagh)
If you want to free yourself from anxiety and stress, and feel truly at ease with yourself, then read this book (Ruby Wax)
This book changed my life. It helps me to sleep and refocus. When I'm frazzled, exhausted or anxious, it helps me find my mojo again. It's revered and respected by psychiatrists, doctors and psychologists ... If you need headspace, you will find it with this book (Alison Young, author of THE BEAUTY INSIDER)
One of the best mindfulness books out there - it's a summary of the science behind using it to regain a sense of purpose, and a practical guide on how to do it

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.

Learning about Mindfulness

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.

Great for beginners looking to begin being mindful
