Practical Mindfulness Dr Colinda Linde

A handbook for self-development, combining the best of mindfulness, coaching and CBT. PRACTICAL MINDFULNESS brings together the best of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and ontological coaching and presents them through a classical mindfulness lens. The authors, both experts in their fields, have distilled mindfulness down to its three key elements: (1) being aware; (2) being non-judgemental; and (3) being non-reactive. They have then taken various fields of real-life application and unpacked each field in terms of those three elements, creating neat steps for easy recall and practical use. The fields of application are: Emotion Regulation; Handling Stress & Building Resilience; Complexity & Decision-Making; Creating & Sustaining the State of Flow; Authentic Being & Relating. It's jam-packed with clearly marked scientific references, key concepts, real-life examples, exercises to do while reading, and uniquely crafted meditation and other practices to save for later-all supported by a plethora of online material. NEIL BIERBAUM has been a life and executive coach since 2005 and has practised and taught meditation for more than 20 years. He has worked with large corporates, SMEs, entrepreneurs and private clients - many of them looking to manage the enormous stress and increasing complexity in their work and personal lives and make sure they achieve their potential in an uncertain world. DR COLINDA LINDE has been a clinical psychologist since 1993 and is the current chairperson of SADAG. She specialises in CBT for anxiety disorders (panic, social phobia), and works extensively in the areas of stress management, work-life balance, sleep issues, assertion and mindfulness.
