Mindfulness
Living Through Challenges and Enriching Your Life In This Moment

“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”

“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)
