Depression, Anxiety & Stress

Mindfulness has emerged as one of the most important therapeutic practices available today, used in the treatment of depression, anxiety and many other common problems. Inspired by Eastern meditative practices, this simple yet powerful approach helps you to become fully engaged in the present moment, and in the process overcome negative thoughts and feelings.


This book explains how to practise mindfulness, using illustrated step-bystep exercises to help you understand key techniques such as breathing, relaxation, body scanning and concentration building. It also includes chapters on using mindfulness to self-treat such specific problems as depression, stress and anxiety, and relationship issues. Practical and accessible, with a wealth of illustrated exercises, this book is the most friendly and engaging title available on the subject – one which, like a trusted therapist, guides you through your problems and questions, anticipating your needs with kindness and compassion.
