I can't say this book has really changed my life because I am not easily changed, but the techniques and ideas in it have encouraged me to change some aspects of my behavior (very slowly). I'm hoping I'll eventually become more patient as a result of steady practice but that remains to be seen. An excellent guide to those wanting to ease the internal pressure of their lives. ( )

I read this book just at the time that I needed to. I was trying to address things in my life that this book helped me focus on perfectly. It got me started on mindfulness meditation, which I found to be just the thing that I needed in my life. ( )

The authors ability to translate Eastern meditation concepts into the Western life is unparalled in my opinion. The book is an easy read and I highly recommend. I read it as an adjunct to Linehan's DBT manual and found it to be helpful when implementing mindfulness in the group setting. ( )

“A student once said: ‘When I was a Buddhist, it drove my parents and friends crazy, but when I am a Buddha, nobody is upset at all.”

Excellent book, one I'll keep refering too. ( )

A good, easy to read introduction to mindfulness meditation - being more aware of the present moment. ( )

Conbine CBT with breathing and a mind to stress-reduction, and there you have it, but "mindfulness meditation" is a lot older! ( )
