Just what the doctor orderedOctober 25, 2008 I read this book upon my doctor's recommendation after serious childbirth injuries years ago. After a recent painful accident I purchased my own copy. It's more than a how-to. It is informative, serious, and humorous. It contains passages of extraordinary beauty, insight, and compassion. Purchasing the accompanying CDs has allowed me to put this wisdom into practice. I recommend this book and the guided mindfulness CDs without hesitation.

The book is very detailed regarding how one stress clinic helps their clients. The author has some very good points, but is long winded.

I am about half way through this book - it was a little bit of a culture shock to get into this way of thinking and acting, but I am enjoying the challenge and think that it has already got me thinking about how I deal with stress and everday events - I have been dealing with some serious medical issues, and need to reduce my stress - I believe this will help - the psychologist who recommended it to me thought very highly of it and was convinced I would benefit from it - I think I will....
