Reviews and Endorsements

'A veritable Rosetta Stone which reveals and deciphers a myriad of basic dimensions of embodied mindfulness instruction in mainstream settings that are key to effective and authentic teaching in mindfulness-based interventions of any kind.' - Jon Kabat-Zinn, Professor Emeritus of Medicine.

'For the field of mindfulness to realise its potential, we need to take great care in training the next generation of mindfulness teachers. They need to develop clarity of intention, theoretical understanding, knowledge of the key research and proficiency as teachers. They need to consistently examine their embodiment and integrity and be open to a lifelong process of learning.

This is not just a book. It is an extraordinary collection of resources developed over decades of training many hundreds of mindfulness teachers. It timely and will be widely welcomed.

At one level it is a practical, well-structured, skilfully curated set of training resources. At another level it provides inspiration, a compass, as well as a road map for trainees at every stage of their learning. The authors are generously committing to writing what they know through their extensive training experience helps trainee mindfulness teachers. The list of authors represents some of the leading trainers in the world.

This edited collection is timely in resourcing both trainees and trainers in mindfulness-based interventions. I can easily see this being a contribution that will evolve through many editions in decades to come.' - Willem Kuyken, Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness and Psychological Science, University of Oxford, UK.

'This is an outstanding book. As mindfulness-based programs enter the sphere of evidence-based medicine, it is imperative that teacher training programs are consistent with the randomized controlled trials that built the evidence. This book is a rich guide that invites us to travel the high road in teacher training so that we skillfully serve learners, while fitting within healthcare delivery systems.' - Eric Loucks, Associate Professor and Director, Mindfulness Center at Brown University, USA.

'Mindfulness-based programs ask much of teachers who, in turn, are poised to deliver much to program participants. This book will ably guide, support and nourish teachers in linking the implicit knowledge embedded in their curricula with skillful, explicit means for conveying it. It should be required reading for anyone in our field.' - Zindel Segal, Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada.
