Hello! I'm the author of a new book about mindfulness and how it will help you find true happiness and well-being. The book is based on my experience as a researcher, teacher, clinical psychologist, supervisor, and practitioner of mindfulness and mindful yoga. It's called:The Practicing Happiness Workbook: How Mindfulness Can Free You from the Four Psychological Traps that Keep You Stressed, Anxious, and Depressed (published in the US by New Harbinger Publications).I'm a Psychology Professor at the University of Kentucky. I do research on mindfulness and publish articles and books for academics and professionals. I also teach and supervise mindfulness-based treatments and give talks and workshops.Mindfulness is so beneficial for so many people that I wanted to share what I've learned in a book for the general public. Practicing Happiness was written for anyone who would like to reduce their levels of stress, anxiety, and depression and find more meaning, satisfaction, and happiness in life. It explains how practicing mindfulnes can help you reach these goals. The book is written in clear language, with no jargon, and is full of worksheets, exercises, and personal stories of people who've benefitted from practicing mindfulness. I hope you find it useful!The book is also published by Constable and Robinson, in the United Kingdom, with a slightly different title:Practising Happiness: How Mindfulness Can Free You from Psychological Traps and Help You Build the Life You Want.
