  I love this book. I’m also going to buy the companion workbook. I’ve been try to live more mindfully anyway but this book helps keep it in perspective with my anxiety issues. And I can use more targeted practice when dealing with anxiety. There are exercises throughout the book. You can go at your own pace. And the exercises build on each other as you get more proficient though you’re not limited to doing the book in order.

  This is a wonderful book!! I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) that my doctor has treated with diazepam (5mg twice a day) for over 10 years. I recently decided that I want to very gradually reduce (staying at 90 days with each reduction) the dose until I’m no longer taking the medication. I’ve been practicing mindfulness, for only about 12 minutes a day, for a couple of years which has helped a lot. This book was suggested reading in one of my other mindfulness books. It’s been very helpful in my slow withdrawal. This book is also an introduction to mindfulness practice so the purchase of other books first isn’t necessary.

  I’ve read lots of books about mindfulness, anxiety, and how to do it/deal with it. This book is a most comprehensive combination of the two subjects, dealing with the pitfalls and varied circumstances that make mindfulness less than effective when anxiety pulls out it’s full bag of tricks. The authors obviously have deep experience helping folks change their unwanted patterns. Mindfulness, I’ve found, can bring great calm and clarity when consistently practiced. This the authors support by thoroughly explaining the how our clever minds avoid what we fear even though it’s what we really want to do. They offer many examples in each chapter and exercises to help one experience each step of practicing consistent mindfulness. I recognized many of my own anxiety avoidance strategies and am finding the exercises very helpful in using mindfulness to become aware of them and find better alternative.
