Very readable, very direct, almost endearing I might say.
Never strays into mysticism, Buddhism, or 'the unseen'.

This remarkable book on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a clear and trustworthy guide for teaching MBSR. It is an insightful offering of wisdom, science, skill, and practicality for any MBSR teacher, new and experienced alike. It is marked with an abundance of detail that includes scripts of mindfulness practices, visual aids, core teaching points, and offers numerous examples of mindful inquiry. The authors address the importance and challenges of reaching across cultures, holding diversity and racial equity in mind as an MBSR teacher. They also include ways to work with technology for the delivery of MBSR in a virtual environment which has been essential during the ongoing global health pandemic. Thank you Susan Woods and Patricia Rockman for creating such a comprehensive, thoughtful, and up-to-date guide for facilitating the heart and essence of the MBSR program.

This is the book I recommend to trainee instructors hoping to run MBSR groups. It presents, in a concise and elegant manner, the curriculum (what to teach) and the spirit of the program (how to teach it). It makes the intention behind every practice and didactic piece very clear in order to help novice and experienced teachers stay true to the model and the rich learning it offers. There are pragmatic instructions on how to assess participants, detailed agendas for each session, meditation scripts and some verbatims to illustrate the inquiry that follows each practice. It also provides worksheets and handouts, a review of the relevant research, thoughts on how to welcome diverse populations, tips on how to run MBSR groups online and in the workplace.
