I have just read your book and would like to let you know how useful I have found it to be. I have been using Jon Kabat-Zinn’s guided meditations since February and your book has enhanced my practice and provided further insights. In 1999 I became seriously depressed and this resulted in hospitalisation and a course of ECT which helped at the time. Since then I have avoided medication and read as much as I can to prevent relapse.
I would be very interested in any talks, events and retreats that may be happening.
Thank-you

I am really enjoying the book – and benefiting from it already – the CD would really be wonderful addition.
There are many “light bulb”moments in t he book – THank you!
Best book on mindfulness I’ve ever read (and applied). Thanks for writing it.
