Overview

Stress and pain are nearly unavoidable in our daily lives; they are part of the human condition. This stress can often leave us feeling irritable, tense, overwhelmed, and burned-out. The key to maintaining balance is responding to stress not with frustration and self-criticism, but with mindful, nonjudgmental awareness of our bodies and minds. Impossible? Actually, it's easier than it seems.

In just weeks, you can learn mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a clinically proven program for alleviating stress, anxiety, panic, depression, chronic pain, and a wide range of medical conditions. Taught in classes and clinics worldwide, this powerful approach shows you how to focus on the present moment in order to permanently change the way you handle stress. As you work through A Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook, you'll learn how to replace stress-promoting habits with mindful ones-a skill that will last a lifetime.

Step by Step Guidance with CDs

The perfect book for a beginner like me. I never figured I would get into meditation since I have a major problem with staying on task mentally; but after reading that the neuro-scientists are realizing that mindful meditation has produced significant improvements in brain structure, I decided to give it one more try. Reading a review of Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg got me started and I was very impressed with her approach that seemed much more attention-deficit friendly than prior books I had read. This workbook is a perfect follow up because it provides the structure, simple format and the 21 CDs that guide you through the different types of meditation and act as a resource for the future. If someone is not into details like in Salzberg's Real Happiness, you could start with this workbook and do just fine, too. Nice to have options!
