Product Description
The Mindfulness Solution to Anxiety
Drawing on techniques and perspectives from two seemingly different traditions, this second edition of the self-help classic Calming Your Anxious Mind offers you a powerful and profound approach to overcoming anxiety, fear, and panic. From the evidence-based tradition of Western medicine, learn the role your thoughts and emotions play in anxiety. And, from the tradition of meditation and the inquiry into meaning and purpose, discover your own potential for presence and stillness, kindness and compassion-and the tremendous power these states give you to heal and transform your life.
Use this encouraging, step-by-step program to: Learn about the mechanism of anxiety and the body's fear systemDevelop a healing mindfulness practice-one breath at a timeStart on the path to presence, stillness, compassion, and loving kindnessPractice acceptance during mindfulness meditationFeel safe while opening up to fearful and anxious feelings

Customer Reviews
However, I cannot review its effectiveness; partly because I have only just finished reading it and partly because these things are generally quite subjective.
The key to this book is contained in the phrase 'Simple but not easy'. To overcome any problem through meditation you have to work at it and be persistent in your practice even if you don't feel like doing it.
I found just reading the book immensely hopeful. Ask me again in a year and I may have something to add about whether it worked for me.
This book could serve as a nice introduction to mindfulness meditation. The first few chapters detail some of the research that has come out concerning the impact of mindfulness on anxiety and anxiety disorders.
It was rather skimpy on some details; specifically, how one can tie all of this mindfulness into reducing or dealing with anxiety. The author takes up an entire one chapter - one - in dealing with this specifically.
Much of the book's content can be found in Jon Kabat-Zinn's wonderful book, "Full Catastrophe Living", which is also much more detailed. I recommend that the customer look into that book first, and then supplement his reading with this one second.
