Review

"If you're a first responder seeking to understand mindfulness and add tools to help strengthen your resilience, this practical guidebook was written specifically for you. Coates communicates with clarity and passion while answering important and pressing questions about mindfulness for law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, and other first responders. This book is a gift to the heroes of our society."
--David Black, Ph.D., CEO of Cordico
"I was, to put it mildly, skeptical about mindfulness and meditation--until I read this book. Coates knows first responders and speaks to the challenges of this work in language that grabbed mefrom the get-go. Essential reading that's going to do a lot of first responders a lot of good!"
--Lt. Jim Glennon (ret.), author of Arresting Communications and co-author of Street Survival II
"Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools to sharpen the mind and reduce stress. No one needs those tools more than first responders."
--Ellen Kirschman, Ph.D., author of I love a Cop: What Families Need to Know and Counseling Cops: What Clinicians Need to Know
