Mark Williams Knihy

Celý svet hovorí o bdelej pozornosti, vedomej mysli, všímavosti či prítomnom okamihu. Je to preto, lebo cítime, že to, čo nám skutočne chýba, je schopnosť byť tu a teraz, naplno si užívať prítomnosť a žiť tak, aby na každej prežitej chvíli skutočne záležalo. Praktizovanie bdelej pozornosti má pozitívny vplyv na ľudské zdravie, spokojnosť a pocit šťastia, o čom svedčia mnohé vedecké a lekárske dôkazy (časť z nich je uvedená aj v tejto knihe). Ide o neustále precvičovanie, proces, ktorý sa celoživotne prehlbuje a kultivuje. Na jednej strane si vyžaduje disciplínu, na druhej ide o hravosť a prijatie každého okamihu. Kniha, ktorú držíte v ruke, vás praktickými krokmi a cvičeniami, ktoré nezaberú viac ako15‑20 minút denne, naučí meditovať, lepšie sa sústrediť, uvoľniť, získať kontrolu nad svojimi reakciami v čase emocionálneho vypätia a pochopiť, ako pracuje ľudská myseľ, takže ju dokážete využiť vo svoj prospech a prestane vás sabotovať.

Prostřednictvím moudrých vhledů a jednotlivých lekcí, které čerpají jak z východních meditativních tradic, tak z moderní kognitivní terapie, vám názorně ukáží, jak odložit mentální návyky, které vás přivádějí do stavu zoufalství, včetně neustálého přemítání nad svými problémy a sebeobviňování, abyste mohli čelit svým životním výzvám s větší odolností.

THE LIFE-CHANGING BESTSELLER. MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre. It's the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clinical Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It's precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is presented as an effective eight-week program to combat depression, emphasizing both clinical practice and personal mindfulness for clinicians. The authors provide clear guidance on mindfulness practices and cognitive interventions, essential for recovery and relapse prevention. This new edition includes updated chapters on self-compassion and additional treatment components, alongside over 40 reproducible handouts. Purchasers gain access to a companion website with downloadable audio resources for both clinicians and clients, enhancing the learning experience.
