Editor's Notes and Comments:

Brief Book Summary:


The Mindfulness Solution to Anxiety



Drawing on techniques and perspectives from two seemingly different traditions, this second edition of a self-help classic 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 system
· Develop a healing mindfulness practice--one breath at a time
· Start on the path to presence, stillness, compassion, and loving kindness
· Practice acceptance during mindfulness meditation
· Feel safe while opening up to fearful and anxious feelings




This book is a welcome addition to the anxiety disorders field. Comprehensive as well as clearly written, it provides a wealth of information on the use of meditation and mindfulness practice in recover from anxiety difficulties. --Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D., author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook and Coping with Anxiety



Dr. Brantley's book is clear and warm. It takes the mystery out of meditation and explains how things that at very first sight appear `ordinary' are in fact very important. His extensive clinical experience and his empathy constantly shine through the book. --Jonathan Davidson, MD, director of the Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program at Duke University

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Easy to read and understand as well as personal stories from author
This book is great. I love Brantley's style. He makes the information easy to digest and interesting to read. Best of all he shares personal stories along the way wherein HE USES HIS OWN MEDICINE: I especially liked the hot air balloon ride!
thank you Brantley-



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Mindfulness
this is a great book for the layman and it has helped me understand things about depression and already feeling better



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - At the intersection of Buddhism and Psychology
Jeffrey seems earnest in his desire to help others which makes for an inviting read. His book touches a bit on some modern trends in psychology then ties those learnings to the Buddhist concept of mindfulness gained through meditation. If you want to get the benefits of mindfulness without having to learn or agree with some of the other principles of Buddhism this is a fine book. Unlike Eckhart Tolle, who has recently put out a best seller covering much of the same ground, Jeffrey's book is for people that want less wo wo and more substance in addition to instruction on how to get on the right path. I believe the best book I have read on this subject is still, "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Gunaratana. If you could only buy and read one I suggest Gunaratana. If you have time to read both then read both. In fact read many, along with your practice of course.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The Raod to Recovery Begin Here!
This is the Second Edition of this book; one I've been waiting for for a while. I saw the very first edition of this book when it was loaned to me by a staffer at a "facility" I found myself in a while back and to say it helped me save my life would be a severe understatement. The simple concept of Mindfulness struck me like a ton of bricks. This is not a book to borrow from your friendly local library, this is a book to get and hold. A book to change your life. Very readable, almost a fun read, were it not doing so much change to my anxious mind in the process. Buy this book, read it, live it and get rid of that pesky anxious mind you've been living with all these stress laden years. It really does help make life fun again!



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - not as good as expected
it deffinatley helped me out however I found that alot of the information and phrases are used over and over again through out the boook which made it boring to read . I baught this book because its foreworded by Jon Kinn but it did not have his style. I also did not like the cheap white paper its printed on , it feels like a cheap copy that somone made at home with a photocopy mahcine.
