My G.P recommended it but I couldn't get into it, I found it very boring and a waste of money.

Easy to follow with amazing results
I was quite sceptical when I bought this as my brain is in overdrive most of the time and I couldn't imagine being able to relax enough to practice meditation, but, it was recommended by a friend who is wired to the moon and she swore by it. She was right. It is easy to understand and follow. It takes a good bit of practice but the CD is very helpful. Mindfulness is a must for everyone and is really enjoyable the more you get into it without going down the "tree hugging hippy" road. I never thought eating a raisin or brushing my teeth could seem so enjoyable. Highly recommend this book

A clear guide to mindfulness.
The guide was very good as it set out a clear programme of achievable activities backed up with an easy to understand and follow along with CD. The book was also very interesting in explaining lots of research that been carried out on how mindfulness can help with stresses of everyday life.

Life Changing
I originally bought this book when completing an MBSR course. However, the book was so useful and easy to follow that I didn’t feel the need for the professional course - the book does it all! I have since bought the book for family members and recommended it to a work colleague (who went on to buy it). Everyone has found it as helpful as I did - especially in these strange, difficult and uncertain times.

Mindfulness
This book is a revelation. It will almost certainly change your life. For people suffering with stress,anxiety and overthinking problems its a must. It's easy to understand and is not damning to you at all. Beautifully written and not easy to put down but you can take your time with it. There is a meditation cd included and you can refer back to cd and book as a tonic whenever. Fab.Enjoy.

Finding Peace in a Frantic World combine it with a group 8 week class!
The book is great! it accompanies the Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy 8 week course of the same name. I have the good fortune of being a Mindfulness Teacher and was taught this course by Chris Cullen from Oxford Mindfulness Centre
