A self-help book that's actually informative and not preachy, religious, pseudo-science and anecdotal?
Some very valuable stuff in there, for those battling any form of stress and need to just "relax" for a bit.
I read this in conjunction with taking a variant of the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction workshop, but I think it would also stand on its own.
A very readable, practical, secular guide to mindfulness: what it is, why you might want to practice it, and how to incorporate it into your day-to-day life. The revised edition also includes a lot of information on the ever-increasing body of scientific knowledge about how the practice of mindfulness can rewire your brain.
Only time will tell whether this book CHANGED MY LIFE, but since reading about a topic is one of my stronger learning styles, I personally found it helpful as a complement to the workshop and daily practice.
