"However, the general mindfulness applicability to therapy is highly welcomed and well written." (British Journal of Mental Health and Nursing, 1 July 2012)

". . . Simple exercises at the end of each chapter and numerous workplace examples make this it a fascinating, highly relevant read for any employee." (The Psychologist, 1 May 2012) "His book is a skilful weaving together of art, science and practice, presented with clarity, simplicity and warmth." (Mindful, 11 October 2011)
