A cognitive behavioral therapist recommended that I look into mindfulness meditation as a way to change some of my negative reactions to common stressors. Everyone has SOME set of these reactions due to their upbringing and habit-forming through life, and not all of them are positive. These reactions can have a huge range of effects, too: Anything from stopping you from asking someone out to making a potentially beneficial move in your workplace. This book is a great, no fluff way of presenting various techniques for doing just that. Additionally, you'll get some helpful info on brain waves, sitting positions and a whole lot more. I would definitely pick this up again.
