Mindfulness is the latest buzzword for anyone seeking to ease the stresses of twenty-first century life. Yet, despite what superficial approaches to the practice may lead us to believe, mindfulness is not a cosy strategy for 'glossing over' life's difficulties.In Into the Heart of Mindfulness, Ed Halliwell examines how mindfulness can help us recognise and let go of our unhelpful biases and habits, enable us to live more at peace with stress and uncertainty, cultivate cheerfulness and compassion and lead us towards us our life's calling - if we are willing to journey to the heart of the practice.With practical advice, taster exercises and refreshing candour, Halliwell explores how working with the realities of our minds, bodies and day-to-day existence can help us rediscover a richly nourishing, deeply textured life.'Ed shows us in a remarkably moving way how mindfulness worked for him. And then he shows how it can also work for millions of others who seek a calmer, deeper mode of life' Lord Richard Layard, Professor of Economics and Head of Well-Being Programme at London School of Economics, author of Happiness and Thrive, co-founder of Action for Happiness'Ed Halliwell embodies everything he writes about, he "walks the talk"' Willem Kuyken, Professor and Director, Oxford University Mindfulness Centre
