"El manual definitivo sobre la práctica que está revolucionando la psicología y la neurologiá: el mindfulness o presencia. En el complejo mundo actual, el mensaje se ha convertido en una exigencia: se feliz. Un imperativo tan ambicioso que la búsqueda de la felicidad acaba siendo fuente de ansiedad y frustración. Ruth Baer, profesora de psicología e investigadora de renombre internacional, propone un enfoque distinto: olvidarse de la felicidad como destino para considerarla una forma de viajar. Desde esta perspectiva, contamos con una herramienta valiosísima para poner en práctica, hoy mismo, la felicidad: el mindfulness o presencia. La autora ha creado una obra cálida, practica y accesible para experimentar el poder de transformación del mindfulness en la vida cotidiana"--Amazon.com.

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention that originates in Eastern meditation traditions but is increasingly discussed and practised in Western culture. It is usually defined as focusing one's complete attention on present-moment experiences in a non-judgemental and accepting way. Buddhist traditions suggest that the cultivation of mindfulness through the practice of meditation reduces suffering and cultivates positive qualities, such as insight, wisdom, compassion and equanimity. In recent years, the Western mental health community has adapted mindfulness meditation practices for use in medical and mental health settings, and several interventions based on mindfulness training are now widely available. Those with the best scientific support include mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These treatments can be applied to a wide range of problems, disorders and populations and the evidence increasingly supports their efficacy. Practising Happiness is the first self-help book to integrate the wisdom, skills and practices available from the four leading evidence-based mindfulness treatments (MBSR, MBCT, DBT and ACT).
