Well worth the time and money!
This audio book has been incredibly helpful in facing depression. MBCT is science based and proven. Take the actual 8 week course if you can alongside listening to and reading the book.

hit and miss
I really like this author, and I have another audiobook by him and a book, and planning to read more books by him. However, whilst I totally loved his other audiobook, this one gets from me a slight lesser rating because I detest Zinn's voice. Williams should have done the meditation sections too, as he's much closer to a pro speaker....I am really fussy about hearing speech, I don't want to hear cheeks and tongues slapping and mucus build up in the throat :)
UPDATE: a year or two later, I conclude that this mindfulness thingy is nothing I had not done in the past, and it is overrated and simplistic. Too long to give details here. I prefer to study things like Seneca, the Dokkodo, Hagakure, and Schopenhauer. This is not to say that mindfulness isn't good, just that it's overrated. I liked the sunset and the sunrise before, the breeze etc. The problem is that 'mindfulness' presupposes that people never have done these things before. And anyhow, they don't address other important things. As usual in the West, the understanding of these ancient philosophies is only partial, and tainted with what Kenji Tokitsu calls: 'current day thinking'.
Having said all that, maybe you DO need to know about mindfulness. It's easy to think "yeah, I get it.". You probably do not. I do highly recommend the books and audiobooks by Mark Williams, but the ones done on his own.

Depressing
I returned it. It actually made me feel worse (more depressed). Also, the audio quality is very poor, which is typical of Sounds True. And Jon Kabat Zinn should not narrate his own books. He is a terrible speaker.

lifesaver
This is more than a book, its a very effective Mindfulness training programme that trains and supports your technique over time. I have practised meditation techniques for over fifteen years, attended workshops and read extensively on the subject, I have learnt that anxiety will always catch up with me, but I believe this programme can empower through regular practice and the meditations included are all you need to reconnect to awareness.

A useful consolidation of ideas that are out there
Ultimately this book consolidated a set of useful mindfulness exercises, but ones that are pretty much already out there in the public domain in one form of another. It also consolidates the ideas that underpin the practice of mindfulness for depression. This includes a detailed, considered and convincing account of how mindfulness can contribute to better mental health and well thought-out descriptions of anxious and depressive thought processes in this context. However, in terms of self-treatment through mindfulness, there’s little that’s new here beyond systematically practising different mindfulness exercises such as body scans. The benefit of the product is to package this all up in one place. There still seems to be a gap to fill in terms of how self-administered CBT exercises could integrate with the mindfulness exercises perhaps, and even, an analysis of where and how other approaches (talking therapies etc) might integrate or add complimentary value. So from a user perspective there’s still a bit of silo-perpetuation here. Nonetheless the book/audio exercises add a useful tool for helping to avoid relapse.

Question

not enough self kindness or compassion
for me, it feels too cold, needs more kindness and compassion. just 'observing' my pain isn't enough. I've found cft (compassion focused therapy) and other self-compassion stuff much more helpful and healing. also, no options to adaptations no encouragement to explore what's right(or not) for you e.g an almost 30 minute body scan is tough!
