Mindfulness practice in the West has long been saving millions of people from chronic stress and depression, perhaps the most common ailments of the modern world. Today, it is rapidly gaining popularity in Ukraine as well. One of the founders of mindfulness therapy is Professor Mark Williams. Together with Dr Danny Penman, they created this book.

The benefits of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy:

• Developed by qualified academics at the University of Oxford.
• Recommended by the British Department of Health for the treatment and prevention of depression
• This therapy has been used in Western medicine for almost a decade to successfully treat depressed patients and maintain the health of people prone to depression.
• Universal: suitable for anyone, has no side effects, unlike antidepressants.
• Simple and straightforward.
• Step-by-step - the book offers an eight-week programme for mastering therapy.
• Complete with unique audio exercises to help you perform meditations correctly.
• Positively affects the health, sense of well-being and happiness of any person.

 It is actually a practice. It's a way of life, not just a good idea, a clever trick or a tribute to fashion. It is thousands of years old. This practice is often referred to as the «heart of Buddhist meditation», although its essence, in terms of attention and awareness, is actually universal.

Because it is a practice, its application is a process that expands and deepens over time. It's best if you make a promise to yourself to stick to the programme, but at the same time treat it like a game and try to make every moment easy and relaxed.

Using the meditation practices proposed in the book for just 10 to 20 minutes a day, you will be able to:

• Reduce blood pressure and the risk of hypertension, strengthen the immune system and improve overall health.
• Reduce alcohol or drug addiction.
• Reduce stress, anxiety, irritability and prevent depression.
