Praise For
The Mindfulness
Solution |
“Down-to-earth and helpful, Dr. Siegel
offers genuinely practical training in the transformative art of
mindfulness.”
—Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of The Wise Heart
“Mindfulness is an innate capacity that,
when cultivated, can awaken us to true health and happiness. Dr.
Siegel’s book is a clear and comprehensive guide for anyone who
wants to apply the power of mindful awareness to challenging
emotions, physical pain, or relational difficulties. Filled with
wisdom that is both practical and deep, this book is an
invitation to live the real moments of our life with presence
and heart.”
—Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance
“In your hands is a readily accessible
book that can walk you step by step to a better life. Being
present in the moment with acceptance is more than just a
practice—it is a key research-proven strategy that promotes
health in the body, in the mind, and in our relationships with
one another. Now is the time—and here is the invitation—to step
into a new way of being that can reduce anxiety, stress, and
fear, and enhance joy, gratitude and well-being in your life.”
—Daniel J. Siegel, MD, author of Mindsight
“This clear and practical guide can help
you discover your own potential to develop mindfulness. It
offers guidance for building a formal meditation practice as
well as tools for coping in everyday life.”
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness
“Dr. Siegel offers us an abundance of
exercises, transformative practices, and the skillful means to
live a mindful life of conscious awareness and meaningful
connection. I applaud and recommend his unique perspective,
gleaned from a life of meditation and psychotherapeutic practice
and research. This wonderful book is a real contribution to the
field of happiness studies and spiritual development.”
—Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening
the Buddha Within
“Talk of ‘mindfulness’ brings up images of
monks spending years on end doing something mysterious. But Dr.
Siegel shows how to bring the simple wisdom of acceptance and
mindfulness into the everyday actions of ordinary living.
Gentle, genuine, and wise, this book coaxes, cajoles, and guides
the reader into looking with clear eyes at how we humans get in
our own way, and provides simple, powerful, step-by-step methods
for learning how to live the kind of lives we want.”
—Steven C. Hayes, PhD, author of Get
Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
“Both accessible and persuasive in showing
how mindful awareness can help us take care of ourselves and
stay centered as we navigate life’s inevitable challenges.”
—Zindel V. Segal, PhD, coauthor of
The Mindful Way through Depression
“While most books on mindfulness
are extremely general, Siegel . . . offers detailed chapters on
applying the concept to such specific areas as intimate
relationships, medical pain, bad habits, and aging anxiety.
Using case studies, assessment tools, and step-by-step
instructions, Siegel helps readers to identify better the
maladaptive habits of their minds, see thoughts more clearly,
more aptly attune themselves to others, lessen personal
suffering, and improve general spiritual/psychological well
being. . . . This is an excellent, inclusive introduction.”
