Mindfulness
内容简介
MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre. It's the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clincal Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It's precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability.

读书文摘
当请求中包含理由时，无论理由是否说得通，被试都更容易让出复印机。因此，人们“潜念”地对熟悉的句式做出反应，而不是“专念”地对内容进行反应。
……紧张、哀伤和疲惫都是无法解决的“问题”。它们都是人所共有的情感，反映了精神和身体的状态。所以，我们只能感受，而无法解决它们。一旦你感受到这些状态时——即承认了它们的存在——放弃解释或消除它们的欲望，它们就像春天早晨的薄雾，会自行消解。
