MINDFULNESS FOR LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 04410012B58000
English Summary/英文概要： Mindfulness is a form of mental training that has been widely practised for millennia, however it’s only recently that science and clinical practice have discovered the profound potential of mindfulness-based practices for increasing our wellbeing.
Our tendency to not be fully present in life has vast implications. Being unmindful means wasting our lifetime, missing important information, increasing our risk of physical and social accidents and communicating more superficially with other people. Importantly, it makes us unhappier than we realise and vulnerable to stress and poor mental health. By focusing on what is rather than be distracted by what isn’t mindfulness can make us much calmer, happier and healthier beings.
Mindfulness for Life is the only book you will ever need on mindfulness. It shows you how to apply mindfulness techniques to your own life whether you need help with medical conditions, personal development or spiritual development. Chapters are included on: stress and ageing, anxiety, depression, addiction, attention deficit orders, pain, weight management, eating disorders, heart disease and stroke, cancer, dementia and sleep; lifestyle, education, workplace, parenting and sporting enhancement; and self-actualisation, happiness and enlightenment development.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「正念」的效果有多神奇？對身心健康有多大的效用？
現由專家親身體驗 提出科學及醫學相關研究及實例佐證你是否曾在打開房門時，卻想不起來自己來這裡做什麼？
你是否曾打開新聞，打算看天氣預報，卻在氣象播報員播報完畢後才如夢初醒？
你是否曾在讀一本書讀到一半，卻發現自己一個字都沒看進去？
「正念」：活在每個當下，不做評論判斷，覺察自己的狀況並接受。
你有多久沒有活在當下了？在快節奏的社會裡，我們早已習慣一心多用，永遠追逐著無法觸及的未來而焦慮不安，也為了自己筋疲力盡的追逐卻還沒達到目標而產生種種負面情緒。於是，在我們往前看的同時，錯失了當下路邊的美景，也錯失了與自己對話、覺察自我、好好照顧自己心靈需求的時刻。
心理學家Dr Stephen McKenzie和Dr Craig Hassed專攻正念研究，兩人致力於將正念療法運用在身體及心靈的臨床醫療上，在學界及醫學界盛名遠播。作者於本書中以簡明易懂、生動有趣的方式說明如何將正念運用於身體（老化、疼痛、體重控制、心臟疾病、中風、癌症、睡眠障礙等）、心理（壓力、憂鬱、焦慮、成癮等）、人際關係（職場、親子關係、領導、教育等）以及正念如何幫助我們走向更滿足的人生。

Awards/获奖情况：“Do read this book. Do give it to someone you care about ... Mindfulness works!”
- Ian Gawler OAMWhile meditation and mindfulness is often delivered with the baggage of eastern mysticism or new age hippy stylings, thiis book by a couple of straight ahead doctors talks like real people and sells what is a great an valuable message in a way that just seems like common sense.
I’ve seen Hassad talk and he just comes across as a great GP who has spent much time assessing and using mindfulness and as a consequence is calmly charged up about spreading it to people so that they may improve their health outcomes without always having to dose up on something. The mind is a powerful thing!
