    <body><![CDATA[I decided to read this after reading &quot; Wherever you go, There you are&quot; by John Kabat-Zinn who is one of the coauthors of this book. I wanted a more in depth discussion of using mindfulness techniques with depression, anxiety, rumination and chronic pain. I found what I was looking for.  I discovered several useful techniques to enhance my mindfulness practice and to especially help with those specific areas. I don't think mindfulness practice is a cure-all but I think that it is a very useful tool and has really enhanced cognitive behavior techniques for me. I use these techniques almost daily and have seen a marked improvement in my ability to address negative thinking and anxiety. I really recommend this book and mindfulness in general as an additional tool for addressing chronic mood problems and chronic illness.]]></body>
