 Top 5 Reads to begin your Mindful Journey

It is rightly said that books are a man's best friends. With the internet, the number of readers have reduced a lot in the last twenty years but still I feel that the wisdom that you get from books is more reliable than the internet because they have been reviewed before publishing. They also have the magical ability to bring both past and future together through words. 

When you want to begin you mindful journey, books can be a great help to you. You can read and refer to them at any point of life. 

Here's a list of top 5 books which can be very helpful for your mindful journey :

Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World, by Mark Williams & Danny Penman

MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion. It promotes the kind of happiness and peace that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life throws at you with new courage.

The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and is widely recommended by US physicians and the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence - in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.
