Mindfulness: The Basics provides a comprehensive introduction to what mindfulness is, how and why it’s useful, and guidance for practice.

Mindfulness practice can help reduce anxiety, stress, and low mood, giving way to creativity, happiness, and tranquillity. It also offers us a way in which to acknowledge the limitations and challenges inherent in the human condition. This book covers a brief history of mindfulness, its applications, and a review of the current evidence base, as well as some key debates in the field. Divided into three broad sections, this book explores understanding mindfulness, practicing mindfulness, and future directions. Chapters particularly emphasize the role mindfulness can play in addressing the major environmental, social, and political challenges of our time.

Students of mindfulness as well as those in healthcare training programs (such as nursing, medicine, psychology, and psychotherapy) will find this an invaluable guide.
