Mindfulness is an approach to life whose positive effects on our emotional wellbeing have been amply demonstrated and that we can strive to maintain at all times.
Not only does mindfulness develop attention and concentration skills, it also reduces the recurrence rate of painful emotions such as anxiety, sadness and anger, while at the same time increasing the presence of such pleasurable emotions as joy and inner peace.
If you’re faced with job-related stress, dejection, persistent problems or family conflicts, this clear, accessible book will show you how to recover and maintain inner equilibrium in your daily life and how to avoid being destabilised by annoyances, difficulties or fear.
Mindfulness is a method that will enable you, with a little training and a few well-chosen exercises, to shape your moods and learn to feel at peace with yourself. This is an indispensable work whose ultimate goal is to enable you to make the most of life.
