Mindful Way Workbook Description
Imagine an 8-week program that can help you overcome depression, anxiety, and stress/m-/by simply learning new ways to respond to your own thoughts and feelings. That program is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and it has been tested and proven effective in clinical trials throughout the world. Now you can get the benefits of MBCT any time, any place, by working through this carefully constructed book. The expert authors introduce specific mindfulness practices to try each week, plus reflection questions, tools for keeping track of progress, and helpful comments from others going through the program. Guided meditations are provided on the accompanying MP3 CD and are also available as audio downloads. Like a trusted map, this book guides you step by step along the path of change. See also the authors' The Mindful Way through Depression, which demonstrates these proven strategies with in-depth stories and examples. Plus, mental health professionals, see also the authors' bestselling therapy guide: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, Second Edition.

I have recommended The Mindful Way Through Depression to therapy clients before, and will definitely be recommending The Mindful Way Workbook to complement that book. The text in this workbook is very readable and accessible for people who are new to mindfulness or meditation, and the authors make a clear case for how mindfulness can help one get unstuck from old patterns than can perpetuate depression. The varied content, including patient excerpts and poems, make the information come alive. I loved that the home practice logs contained frequently asked questions/challenges and expert responses - I think my clients will find these very helpful and supportive. The workbook also does a great job getting readers to anticipate barriers to practice, and provides suggestions for maintaining a mindfulness practice amidst a busy life. Almost every page has space to record reflections or respond to questions, which offers readers an opportunity to engage with material in a different way than simply reading it. Finally, I liked the “helpful hints” for getting prepared for practice, and the illustrations of good sitting and stretching postures.

I've read lots of books on mindfulness.
I'm just starting on this one but since it is a workbook I just read it as I am doing the work. So I have only read 1/4 of the book. But I'm pleased with the succinctness and genuine workbook structure.
I've already read the theory in other books by the same authors but this is what I really wanted. The Mindful Way through Depression was too verbose with too much theory mixed in with the practical work and I coudn't get my CD to work to the meditations. Mindfulness in a Frantic World was better and closer to being a workbook but the book forced you to download special software to listen to the mindfulness recordings and again I couldn't get them to work so it was only good for information/motivation.
Finally with this book they provided a CD and a link where you can easily save the mindfulness exercises to your pc to keep forever without having to worry about the CD wearing out or getting special software to work.
I 'll see how I'm going after I finish the book and possibly consider doing the actual 6 week course.
