by Danny Penman on Monday, June 16, 2008

This brilliant, powerful, and important book offers a resilient inner peace for troubled times. Each moment is a tipping point toward happiness or suffering. The key is to experience life’s pleasures and pains without getting hijacked by them – and the authors show us how. Their evidence-based approach is both simple and profound, structured and spacious, and practical and heartfelt. You feel their friendly calm guidance in every page, with gentle humour, many examples, guided experiential practices, and numerous effective suggestions. They take mindfulness to a whole new level, and bring you with them each wonderful step of the way.

  'I notice myself naturally just taking a pause and watching my internal disturbances without taking action. It's became my default response... to unpleasantness... before I'd over eat or act in a non productive manner.' Amazon 5 Star review of our new book Deeper Mindfulness

  �It is easy to understand why their first book, MINDFULNESS: FINDING PEACE IN A FRANTIC WORLD, is the bestselling book on mindfulness. ...This is a much-needed extension for all those who wish to go deeper,� Willem Kuyken, University of Oxford, on our new book Deeper Mindfulness.
