Mindfulness and Me is a wonderful step-by-step guide for beginners of mindfulness practice. The format essentially is a brief theory of each lesson followed by a related practice, every day for 8 weeks. However, the author does stress that you do not need to be strict with the order of practice and you can read as you like, which I always appreciate.
This book is extremely well researched with recommended reading and further resources also included at the end. I studied Psychology at university and my dissertation actually centred on mindfulness so I was very drawn to this book. My personal favourite week of the book was actually learning about chakras, and as a naturally sceptical person, I really found it interesting learning about these theories. There is also humour throughout the book which I thought worked really well so the book isn't overly serious and dull.
Overall this book is a 4 star for me personally, as I think that with all self-help books there is a level of effort and willingness of the reader that is required. I would highly recommend it as a beginners guide to mindfulness and you will learn a lot across the broad spectrum of health and mindfulness.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
