Reviews / Votes
"It will make a welcome addition to the literature on mindfulness. I found it intriguing at many levels, and it will no doubt stimulate further theorizing and research. . The references are at the end of each individual chapter, and there is a good index for the book as a whole. . This book can be recommended for libraries." (J. I. (Hans) Bakker, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (40), October, 2017)More details
