Resources
An online or face-to-face course is a great way to experience and learn mindfulness, but there are also many books, CDs and DVDs which explain the premises behind mindfulness and teach some of the basic techniques.
In this section, you'll find a selection of mindfulness-based resources which are all available to order online at Amazon.co.uk. We use Amazon’s Associates Programme, which means that when you use the links on this site to purchase the products on Amazon, we receive a small percentage of the sale. This will be put towards the continued promotion of mindfulness by our charity, the Mental Health Foundation. However local libraries and book shops may also stock some of these resources.

Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World (Includes Free CD)
Books, CD
Mindfulness reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre. It's the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clincal Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It's precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability.
