'The monk who taught the world mindfulness' Time In this masterful
work, one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today
shares his wisdom on how to be the change we want to see in the
world. In these troubling times we all yearn for a better world.
But many of us feel powerless and uncertain what we can do. Thich
Nhat Hanh (Thay) is blazingly clear: there's one thing that we have
the power to change-and which can make all the difference: our
mind. How we see and think about things determines all the choices
we make, the everyday actions we take (or avoid), how we relate to
those we love (or oppose), and how we react in a crisis or when
things don't go our way. Filled with powerful examples of engaged
action he himself has undertaken, inspiring Buddhist parables, and
accessible daily meditations, this powerful spiritual guide offers
us a path forward, opening us to the possibilities of change and
how we can contribute to the collective awakening and environmental
revolution our fractured world so desperately needs.
This book offers clear, actionable ways for parents and educators

of growth and development. With an emphasis on mindfulness,

to make a big difference in how teens see themselves and experience
their interactions with us and it will help you be more intentional
in your choices as you navigate the challenges of the adolescent
years. Creating strong, foundational relationships with young
people during these years has an enormous, lasting impact on their
ability to become adults who are confident, compassionate, and part
of a healthy community.

The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.
“It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.”
THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.
Since 1954, "Twenty-Four Hours a Day" has become a stable force in
the recovery of many alcoholics throughout the world. With over six
and a half million copies in print (the original text has been
revised), this "little black book" offers daily thoughts,
meditations, and prayers for living a clean and sober life. A
spiritual resource with practical applications to fit our daily
lives.
"For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision" is
part of the Sanskrit proverb quoted at the beginning of the book
which has become one of the basic building blocks for a life of
sobriety. In addition to a thought, meditation and prayer for each
day of the year, this handy, pocket-sized volume also contains the
Serenity Prayer and the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions of Alcoholics
Anonymous. It is a simple, yet effective way to help us relate the
Twelve Steps to everyday life and helps us find the power not to
take that first drink each day.
Healing the Heart and Mind with Mindfulness is a practical book
that provides strategies using mindfulness to manage stress,
anxiety and depression, as well as ways to cultivate psychological
wellbeing. Uniquely, it combines a traditional Buddhist approach to
mindfulness with contemporary psychology and current perspectives.
Drawing on the author's many years of clinical experience as a
psychologist as well as his personal experience in Buddhist
meditation practices, it outlines how the Buddha's four
applications of mindfulness can provide a pathway to psychological
wellbeing, and how this can be used personally or with clinical
populations. This accessible, user friendly book provides
strategies for healing the heart and mind. Malcolm Huxter
introduces mindfulness as it is presented in Buddhist psychology
and guides the reader through meditations in a systematic way. The
practices are clearly explained and supported by relevant real life
stories. Being aware that mindfulness and meditation are simple but
not easy, Huxter guides the reader from the basics of mindfulness
and meditation through to the more refined aspects. He provides a
variety of different exercises and guided meditations so that
individuals are able to access what suits them. The guided
meditations can be streamed or accessed as free audio downloads.
Healing the Heart and Mind with Mindfulness is aimed at anyone who
wishes to use mindfulness practices for psychological freedom. This
book provides insight and clarity into the clinical and general
applications of Buddhist mindfulness and will be of interest to
mental health practitioners, students of mindfulness, professional
mindfulness coaches and trainers, researchers and academics wishing
to understand Buddhist mindfulness and the general public.
