Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams and Danny Penman

Having seen Mark Williams do a talk at a literary festival, and read about other people's life-changing experiences upon reading this book, I was curious. So I bought the book and accompanying CD, to see if it could help me live more in the present, feel less anxious, and to feel more at peace.

The book takes you through the theory and practice of mindfulness meditation and explains how mindfulness has been scientifically proven to be beneficial to health. I have no doubt about that.
