Practicing Mindfulness

75 Essential Meditations to Reduce Stress, Improve Mental Health, and Find Peace in the Everyday

practicing mindfulness book

Practicing Mindfulness is my first book, published in 2018. It has been more popular than I could have imagined, which brings me deep joy.

This guidebook is full of practices that I have found useful in my own practice and in working with students. It’s intensely pragmatic, aiming to offer actionable instructions.

From foundational meditation practices to working with difficult emotions and learning to be present in our daily lives, each chapter offers instructions to investigate mindfulness in a new way.

Practice with Me

Practicing Mindfulness is a fantastic standalone book for your practice. You don’t need prior experience or any tools. It’s designed for people who want to make mindfulness a part of their daily lives as they go about the world.

In addition to the book, I have an upcoming course inspired by the practices in the book that makes a nice follow-along.
