    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Mindfulness: The Basics provides a comprehensive introduction to what mindfulness is, how and why it’s useful, and guidance for practice.


    Mindfulness practice can help reduce anxiety, stress, and low mood, giving way to creativity, happiness, and tranquillity. It also offers us a way in which to acknowledge the limitations and challenges inherent in the human condition. This book covers a brief history of mindfulness, its applications, and a review of the current evidence base, as well as some key debates in the field. Divided into three broad sections, this book explores understanding mindfulness, practicing mindfulness, and future directions. Chapters particularly emphasise the role mindfulness can play in addressing the major environmental, social, and political challenges of our time. The book also contains a glossary of key terms, chapter summaries, diagrams, and an e-resource of audio-guided practices. This book is essential for anyone interested in learning more about practising mindfulness.


    Students of mindfulness as well as those in healthcare training programmes (such as nursing, medicine, psychology, and psychotherapy) will find this an invaluable guide.
