Mindfulness: a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world

Synopsis

Educationalists are increasingly taking an interest in mindfulness to help pupils manage stress, support mental health and promote wellbeing and a positive learning environment. This book builds on the idea that mindfulness can have a positive impact on health, wellbeing and happiness. The authors set out an eight-week evidence-based programme based on stress reduction and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

It includes a CD that describes a series of simple practices that can be incorporated into lessons and everyday life.  

CPD Opportunities

Though not linked explicitly to education, this book and its techniques may be of use to teachers keen to help pupils handle with stress and to promote good mental health.
