About this listen

The life-changing best seller - over one and a half million copies sold!

Available as an unabridged audio download for the first time.

Authoritative, beautifully written and much-loved by many, Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World has become a word-of-mouth best seller and global phenomenon. It reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to break the cycle of anxiety, stress unhappiness and exhaustion. It promotes the kind of happiness that gets into your bones and allows you to meet the worst that life throws at you with new courage.

Mindfulness is based on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Co-developed by Professor Mark Williams of Oxford University, MBCT is recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and is as effective as drugs for preventing depression. But, equally, it works for the rest of us who aren't depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the relentless demands of the modern world.

By investing just a few minutes each day, this classic guide to mindfulness will put you back in control of your life once again.

Critic reviews

"A deeply compassionate guide to self-care - simple and profound." (Sir Kenneth Branagh)

"If you want to free yourself from anxiety and stress, and feel truly at ease with yourself, then read this book." (Ruby Wax)

All stars
Most relevant
A really useful look into both the science, studies and the practical elements behind mindfulness. With a set 8 week programme to follow that unravels itself in a logical way that enables the reader to progress their understanding and practice at a rate that allows step by step futhering of knowledge and ability. Read by one of the authors in a calm and soothing way and meaning that the narration was logical and clearly in line with the way in which the book/programme is meant to play out.

A guide into a calmer, more centered life.

This book is so clever. All the subject matter is relevant and relatable. It links the "mumbo jumbo" with science. The metaphors and anecdotes are perfectly and professionally cited, making it easy to understand and follow. If you have struggled at all, ever, then you must listen to this book. For this subject matter the audio book is the perfect vehicle, so much better than a physical book. Genius.

This is the best thing to happen.

I have had this audio book for about a year and listen to it over and over. The final chapters are each meditation repeated and I dip in and out of these time and again. Strangely, I never find them repetitive but somehow I discover some new aspect to explore every time. The voice is soothing and the timings are perfect. The authors are knowledgable and the subject matter within the chapters is relatable and easy to apply. Wonderful listening and thoroughly therapeutic.

Superb mental health handbook

All chapters are muffled. It says ch 4 but it’s ch 6. There are no details written for each chapter

Love mindfulness
