"Composed by a star-studded team of scientists and practitioners, this powerful book is the best self-help title to arrive since David Burns''s seminal "Feeling Good," Williams, Teasdale, and Segal previously collaborated on "Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, "a well-received text for mental health professionals. Add to the mix Jon Kabat-Zinn, a luminary in his own right, and the result is a useful lay reader''s guide to incorporating mindfulness techniques in everyday life. Providing a realistic 8-week program, this wonderful guide and its accompanying CD offer invaluable practical strategies for banishing depression and regaining one''s life. Highly recommended.
