Mindfulness Workbook For Dummies

I have read a number of books on mindfulness but this the most beautiful book. I have found it has helped me so much during a stressful period in my life. It is put very simply but with all the information you need on this subject. It is very easy to read and I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to start a journey of mindfulness.

Most useful and as with all the "Dummies" books, it is in easy to understand plain language, ideal for real help and with no confusing themes.

It's a good book and gives a very practical idea of what is involved to get you working on the ideas put aross. I have not had another book to compare it with but it is practical.

Yet to read, comes highly recommended though! All 'for dummies' books I have read have been really easy to follow and make great reference books!

An excellent book. A sort of 'must have' as the supplied manual is so small. It's printed on too tiny pages for my eyes to read through comfortably. If you can excuse the American English, you'll be okay. This is my first "For Dummies" book and it's great. I recommend it.

I just started read it but i fliped through the book. I belive it has everything I needed. even has links for bouns stuf like recorded leaded meditations. I was so excited when I found this.

Bought for a friend suffering bipolar disorder, she found the techniques described and set out in the book excellant! It would seem the methodology works!

This format didn't suit me at all. I found it all just too daunting and not at all engaging. Shame really.

Easy to read and lots of great ideas.

I’m a dummies who loves workbooks for improvement of my mental disorders. This book has a lot of useful exercises.

Arrived on time no hassles great product I would buy from Here a again

Any books for Dumbness works for me.

I was interested in practicing Mindfulness, as I realized in hearing about it that it resembled a concept I was actually practicing when I got into hiking without realizing it. The reviews indicated this book provided a guide for actual practice instead of simply presenting Mindfulness as a theory or science, so I bought it. I began reading the book from beginning to end, but realized during the chapter on various meditations that I really wasn't getting started, leaving me a tad frustrated. So I jumped ahead to the chapter that presented the 8 week mindfulness course, and I was able to actually get started. Each week is given its own section, and you're presented with interesting concepts to consider, along with exercises to do for that week. You do have to jump to other chapters to learn how to do the meditations you have to do, which means you're having to go back and forth throughout the book in order to put everything together. I wish the book had simply been organized to flow with the 8 week mindfulness course. To be fair, the authors do tell you that you can go to whatever section is of interest to you, but that's not helpful for a beginner. They do a good job cross-referencing the material. So you're not completely tossed into the weeds trying to gather the material. I found the introductory material I had read beforehand very helpful in putting the 8 week course into context, so that wasn't wasted. I'm currently working through Week 2, and I'm finding that this practice is really altering the way I'm going through my life, though I'm still struggling with negative thoughts at the moment that I hope will be addressed as I go through the full 8 weeks. I've even peeked ahead at the chapter on dealing with difficult emotions, so I know things will come together in time. The exercises are well explained, and the plentiful worksheets you should complete are incredibly helpful. The book is really well written once you've oriented yourself to the book's organization, and it includes lots of clear examples and useful sidebars. If you're interested in doing the 8 week session, read Chapters 1-4, then jump ahead and get started with Chapter 7. Go to the other parts of the book, such as learning how to do a specific meditation, as they're referenced. (See edit below: I also recommend including Loving Kindness at Week 6) Edit: I'm about to begin Week 6 of the Eight Week course, and I still haven't been introduced to the Loving Kindness Meditation. That meditation is actually described earlier in the book, but it's not incorporated into the Eight Week course. I plan to introduce it into my Sixth Week schedule, and I highly recommend folks attempting the Eight Weeks to do likewise.
