The book offers a novel introduction to the use of mindfulness
skills in communication in a range of settings.
Mindfulness involves learning to be more aware of life as it
unfolds moment by moment, even if these moments bring us
difficulty, pain or suffering. This is a challenge we will all face
at some time in our lives, and which health professionals face
every day in their work. The Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living
programme presents a new way of learning how to face the pressures
of modern living by providing an antidote which teaches us how to
cultivate kindness and compassion - starting with being kind to
ourselves. Compassion involves both sensitivity to our own and
others' suffering and the courage to deal with it. Integrating the
work of experts in the field such as Paul Gilbert, Kristin Neff,
Christopher Germer and Tara Brach, Erik van den Brink and Frits
Koster have established an eight stage step-by-step compassion
training programme, supported by practical exercises and free audio
downloads, which builds on basic mindfulness skills. Grounded in
ancient wisdom and modern science, they demonstrate how being
compassionate shapes our minds and brains, and benefits our health
and relationships. The programme will be helpful to many, including
people with various types of chronic or recurring mental health
problems, and can be an effective means of coping better with low
self-esteem, self-reproach or shame, enabling participants to
experience more warmth, safeness, acceptance and connection with
themselves and others. Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living will
be an invaluable manual for mindfulness teachers, therapists and
counsellors wishing to bring the 'care' back into healthcare, both
for their clients and themselves. It can also be used as a
self-help guide for personal practice.

Long before the advent of modern psychology, Buddhism offered ways
to understand body and mind through introspection and meditation.
These efforts yielded a thorough and detailed classification and
analysis of mental and physical phenomena, known as the Abhidhamma.
The Web of Buddhist Wisdom is a clear and accessible explanation of
important themes of the Abhidhamma, such as consciousness, mental
concomitants, physicality, and the experience of Enlightenment. In
addition, he addresses the law of kamma, the process of dying and
rebirth, the four Noble Truths and the value of the Abhidhamma.
This is a rich and accessible guide for anyone who is interested in
the workings of the human mind. It offers a clear and simple
acquaintance with the world of the Abhidhamma, an old yet very
accurate mirror of our existence.
