About this ebook

If you’ve ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to “think” our way out of a bad mood or just “snap out of it” lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life’s challenges with greater resilience. This enhanced e-book includes an audio program of guided meditations narrated by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Ratings and reviews

Mindfulness through medutation are proven to be better than meds for anxiety and depression. For anyone who wants to connect to a higher more at peace part of themselves this is for you. Teaches you to live in the moment and paying attention to every detail.

I am reading the hardcopy and finding it super helpful, wondering if the meditations are available to download, currently I am using the CD.

Insightful and illuminating, thank you
