“Williams and his international team of authors provide insight into the healing power of so-called 'awareness' through which people can escape the wearisome ruminations of the obsessed mind, befriend alien feelings, and come more alive in themselves....A practical volume that bears the authority both of contemporary psychology and the age old spiritual practice of meditation.”
—New Directions (on the first edition)
“An invaluable resource for patients who suffer with depression. In addition to psychotherapy, psychopharmacology and CBT, it provides another resource to patients and another way of looking at their struggle, a way of trying to understand what's happening and a way to learn a technique of self-help; a way of attempting to break through a cycle of chronic unhappiness….A book of this sort is invaluable in that it provides a series of take-home exercises for the novice and provides a step-by-step guide to patients or clinicians interested in effective noninvasive therapeutic techniques.”
—Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic (on the first edition)
“Very easy to read and is a useful guide to those wishing to use just one aid from the vast number available to those in the practice.”
—Journal of the Buddhist Society (on the first edition)
“A practical, thoughtful approach to the treatment of depression, combining classic cognitive techniques with the use of mindfulness, or a sense of non-judgmental awareness of and attention to the present moment.”
—Metapsychology Online Reviews (on the first edition)
“This work is a culmination of the many years of expertise and talent that the four authors have to share....They have carefully crafted the explanation of the cycle of depression utilizing a cognitive-behavioral model. The concept of prevention of depression starts here and continues throughout the package....Practitioners and clients will find exercises…that can be helpful to include in a treatment plan.”
—Therapy Today (on the first edition)
“Composed by a star-studded team of scientists and practitioners, this powerful book is the best self-help title to arrive since David Burns’s seminal Feeling Good. Williams, Teasdale, and Segal previously collaborated on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, a well-received text for mental health professionals. Add to the mix Jon Kabat-Zinn, a luminary in his own right, and the result is a useful lay reader’s guide to incorporating mindfulness techniques in everyday life….Highly recommended. (starred review)”
—Library Journal (on the first edition)
“This is the book to turn to if you want to learn new ways to meet depression. It seamlessly weaves the science and practice of changing how we greet experiences, even profoundly difficult ones.”
—J. David Creswell, PhD, William S. Dietrich II Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Carnegie Mellon University
“An essential resource for anyone who struggles with depression. With clarity and compassionate understanding, the authors artfully combine the latest research with decades of clinical wisdom to offer an effective path forward. Filled with immediately relatable examples and easy-to-follow exercises, this book can help you not only to become freer from suffering, but also, ultimately, to live a richer life.”
—Ronald D. Siegel, PsyD, author of The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary
“In this wonderful second edition, the authors once again seamlessly weave scientifically proven mindfulness techniques with insightful, compassionate stories. This book gives readers a completely new way to work with difficult emotions and thoughts. I can't recommend it highly enough!”
