In 1990, Jon Kabat-Zinn revolutionized the way millions of people handle distressing thoughts and feelings by writing "Full Catastrophe Living", the book that introduced mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to the public for the first time. In "A Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook", mindfulness experts Bob Stahl and Elisha Goldstein adapt Kabat-Zinn's groundbreaking programme into an accessible workbook format. Readers turn to this book once a week for eleven weeks, gradually improving their ability to relieve intense stress and reconnect with the present. The workbook invites readers to participate in formal and informal practices and use fill-in exercises to reflect and track their progress. After each weekly session, readers can apply the techniques they learned that week into everyday life, gradually learning to replace stress-promoting habits with mindful ones. The audio CD bound with this book offers extensive and helpful supplemental material that readers can listen to anytime to receive a refresher course on MBSR techniques and useful guidance for incorporating these techniques into their days.

"The biggest challenge for any do-it-yourself course is to include exercises that people will actually want to stop and do. In this book, the exercises are skillfully introduced along with spaces that remind the reader, 'This part is up to you to do now!' I think readers will start practicing immediately with confidence that the program will show results."
