Lama Surya ... Read moreDas, author of Awakening the Buddha Within Talk of 'mindfulness' brings up images of monks spending years on end doing something mysterious. But Dr. Siegel shows how to bring the simple wisdom of acceptance and mindfulness into the everyday actions of ordinary living.

Zindel V. Segal, PhD, coauthor of The Mindful Way through Depression - The direct and readable style of The Mindfulness Solution quickly engaged me. The book has a manual-type format that may be followed by anyone wanting to teach themselves how to establish a mindfulness practice from first principles, along with plenty of new ideas and in-depth exploration to interest experienced practitioners....This wise book offers a fresh and helpful approach to both people who want to begin to practise mindfulness and to those with an already established practise.
Healthcare, Counselling, and Psychotherapy Journal, 11/11/2009ƒƒ The style is engaging and chatty, and the author recounts some surprisingly personal anecdotes. This makes the book easy to read....The practical advice...is extremely thorough and clearly draws on the author's extensive personal and clinical experience of mindfulness practice. It is full of useful tips....Each chapter ends with advice on seeking further help, and with a menu of suggested practices....This thorough menu of practices for different circumstances is where the book will be most useful to clinicians; for clients, its highlight may be the accompanying website with audio versions of many of the practices.
The Psychologist, 11/11/2009ƒƒ Offers strategies and practical solutions so that both formal and informal practices can be integrated into a person's routine, customized for their particular set of circumstances. It is a self-help book that comes with a web link to downloadable audio recordings of Dr. Siegel guiding practices....This is a friendly and useful resource for people interested in exploring the concept of as a way to better their mental or physical health. I think it also has some valuable ideas for the therapist who is interested in integrating some of the explanations and exercises with his or her client....I had never thought before about how one could incorporate practice as part of individual therapy. I appreciated the examples throughout the book to see how a therapist could work individually with a client by building a tailored toolkit for that client's preferences.
