Review:Mindfulness for beginners is a wonderful introduction to paying attention on purpose, non-judgmentally, as Jon Kabat-Zinn would say. The first CD is a "conversation" about what mindfulness is and is not. The second CD leads you through a number of meditation practices. What I really liked here was the fact that there were built in periods of silence into each practice and when the meditation was over, it was over. This has not been my experience with some other CDs where the meditation ends ... Read more

Review:I wanted to practice mindfulness and this was one of two books I purchased in Kindle version. It came with a set of audio meditations to take the beginner through beginning mindful practices. I use this book as an ongoing tool. Read more

Review:This book is more for the psychiatric professional and not for a person who is trying to become more mindful. The first half of the book focused on mindlessness. The second half of the book focused on experiments done with various groups of people and how those experiments helped those people become more mindful. Read more

Review:I love the idea of anti-stress coloring. This book sounded perfect, and it mostly is. However, as others have mentioned, the binding is way too tight! It adds some stress because of having to constantly push open the pages to get to all of the details. I do like the small size of the book. Read more

Review:This is a wonderful read for anyone who struggles with depression and would like to try a new approach, a holistic approach. A lot of therapists don't realize (or at least don't practice from the point of view that) people are multidimensional; we are mind, body, AND spirit. We have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components. I love this book, because it addresses all of the aspects. The accompanying cd is wonderful. I'm a mind, body, spirit counselor and I use this book (in my l... Read more

Review:Sweet little book with a really nice introduction to Mindfulness. I was surprised by how pleasant and easy and varied the exercises were, and how familiar some of them already were to me. It makes a perfect pocket or bag book, and is especially best when shared with friends. Read more

Review:Another winner from Dave Asprey. While the book definitely gets into the weeds on mitochondria, it is fascinating to learn how important they are to almost every function of the body. I read the Bulletproof Diet a couple of years ago and while there are many similarities it is great to get the latest information and continue to work on a healthier life! Read more

Review:Not having the references is a HUGE problem. In the paperback edition the references to all the studies she mentioned were not cited. I listened to the audiobook and wanted to explore some of the articles she had mentioned for an upcoming presentation on childhood obesity. I bought the paperback and was astonished to discover she didn't have a bibliography. That is an unexcetable practice in healthcare. Completely discredits the book. Such a shame. Read more

Review:I was first introduced to Sammy Maloney's story through Mystery Diagnosis, a Discovery Life television show that ended circa 2011 but is still shown in syndication. I find psychological symptoms and diagnoses fascinating, so when I heard there was a whole book about Sammy's journey, I was eager to get my hands on it.

Beth Maloney is the very definition of a persistent Mama Bear. She knows there's something wrong with Sammy and that the doctors are completely missing it. Even as her home l... Read more

Review:I appreciated reading from this Author's own actual words and thoughts. It clarified a lot of issues I have encountered associating with persons
with this tragic problem. So sad she died so young. Read more
