About this ebook

As a former Buddhist monk with over 10 years of teaching experience, Andy Puddicombe has been acknowledged as the UK's foremost mindfulness meditation expert. Like his readers and students, he began his own meditation practice as a normal, busy person with everyday concerns, and he has since designed a program of mindfulness and guided meditation that fits neatly into a jam-packed daily routine-proving that just 10 minutes a day can make a world of difference. Simple exercises, stories and techniques culled from Andy's years of experience will help anyone calm the chatter in their minds. The result? More headspace, less stress.

Get Some Headspace also brings us the extraordinary science behind this seemingly simple cure-all. This book and practice will help readers positively impact every area of their physical and mental health through mindfulness, from productivity and focus, to stress and anxiety relief, sleep, weight-loss, personal relationships...and the list goes on and on.

Ratings and reviews

I loved headspace app. It introduced me to vipassana and 10 day retreat course. Vipassana taught me so many things about meditation and i was able to experience so many benefits from taking care of my mind. But life is life. And we forget to prioritize and self care does not come 1st in your mind. So this book was wonderful oppurtunity to be reminded about those experiences and benefits.This book is definitely going to be the one that i plan to use it more often to motivate myself to meditate and b mindful.

This book along with the app are great introductions to the world of meditation. I've read other books that brought similar ideas but they were not presented as easily as in this book. I'd recommend this to anyone.

I have yet to purchase this book , but I did enjoy the sample read . It's a great affirmation into a focal point when I'm meditating. This would be a great purchase for any online library.
