The Mindful Manifesto, by Dr Jonty Heaversedge and Ed Halliwell, is published by Hay House. Buy it from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
The book integrates the latest scientific research on mindfulness with its historical context, and explores how practising meditation can help us:
- cultivate mental well-being, and work with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety
- cope with the busyness of everyday life
- manage chronic pain and illness more effectively, and nurture physical well-being.
- let go of unskilful behaviours and improve how we function in our relationships and jobs.
With examples of how mindfulness is already making a difference in the world, The Mindful Manifesto also examines how encouraging governments and other powerful institutions to take a mindful approach could bring more health and happiness.
