Drawing on the ancient wisdom of mindfulness, this practical guide will show you tons of little ways you can overcome stress every day - no matter what life throws your way.The mindfulness strategies in this book are inspired by mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), a clinically proven program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
