Reviews

If you want to free yourself from anxiety and stress, and feel truly at ease with yourself, then read this book. - Ruby WaxThis is an inspiring programme for anyone caring about his or her own health and sanity. - Jon Kabat-ZinnPeace can't be achieved in the outside world unless we have peace on the inside. Mark Williams and Danny Penman's book gives us this peace - Goldie HawnI don't just love this book because Williams was my professor and co-founder of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, but because this book is brilliantly clear on how we clutter up our lives with endless self-criticism and mind wandering - and so miss most of our lives. Williams gives you a free trip to the present ... unlike some books, this one wasn't fluff. - Ruby Wax...the ultimate practical guide - The Sunday Telegraph
