This book is a life skills type of manual. That is, it provides guidance and interactive lessons (e.g., journaling, probing questions, mindfulness-based activities such as meditation, reframing toxic self talk, healthy risk taking, grief resolution, creating meaning in life, and much more). Ideally, this book would be a helpful read for students in graduate mental health programs, those in the field, people considering a career in counseling or another mental health field, and perhaps other professionals (e.g., the clergy, teachers, nurses, parents, etc.). This book would be different from just about any in professional literature; it is a mindfulness-based approach to life tasks
