I can not tell you how exactly reading this book will improve your life. Just know it will.

Very useful and clinically proven.

This program now has evidence for preventing relapse in major depression. Mindfulness is an essential skill in developing emotion regulation skills and it has been implemented in other formal psychotherapeutic programs like DBT and ACT.
I think it will be useful if you already are stable on medication and want to try tapering it off.

Wonderful Mindfulness Based CBT instruction.

The books narrative portion hit all the right notes and evolved the transmission of insight and instruction at just the right pace.

it works

Williams and Zinn both have lovely voices, so listening was very pleasant. I was already familiar with meditation, so I took to it easily. I would recommend this program to anyone. all you need is some patience and a few minutes a day. The print version has a CD so the tracks are referred to by number that doesn't correspond to the chapter numbers. you can figure it out pretty easy but it is something to figure out.

Great listening

It has been a month I finished the MBSR program. While listening to the book, I could realize how much my life has already changed by the practices and the new way of living in the present moment.
It was a pleasant and understandable listening although english is not my first language. Great narrators!
