Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams, Danny Penman

4.0

---

This is a practical and accessible guide to the practice of mindfulness meditation. The early chapters provide an introduction to the methods employed, and a discussion of their benefits. The eight-week course is well-structured, combining clear exposition of themes and concepts with exercises and applications. The accompanying recordings of directed meditations are a useful supplement to the book. I found this a useful and encouraging aid to allaying burn-out, fatigue, and anxiety through the cultivation of a deeper sense of inner calm and self-directed kindness.
