<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As a health psychologist, the author has worked for over two decades with people from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances who were dealing with severe life challenges.

Why would you want to read this one?</p><p>As a health psychologist, I've worked for over two decades with people from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances who were dealing with severe life challenges. I taught them simple mindful practices so they could reclaim their lives from stress, worry and anxiety - and I wrote Simply Mindful: A Daily Practice to Reclaim Your Life so that everyone could benefit from these simple but powerful practices.</p><p>The book includes inspiring stories from people such as </p><p>- Eleanor, who had terrible neighbors move in next door after her husband died. </p><p>- Larry, a commodities trader who developed heart disease and became a pain to his family. </p><p>- Jane, a retail clerk who discovered two weeks after she retired that her husband had Alzheimer's disease. </p><p>- Dr. Beth, who considered giving up her career because she thought her medical error had led to the death of one of her patients. </p><p>- Joe, whose irritability not only ruined his enjoyment of golf, but threatened his marriage.</p><p>All of these people - and many more - discovered how to live with and sometimes change difficult circumstances by using mindful practice. The book explains why and how mindful practice works, and includes unique exercises that make it easier and less time consuming. </p><p>I've also included a few stories of the benefits I've seen in my own life - and frankly, I wouldn't teach and write about mindful practice unless I'd seen its benefits for myself. </p><p>So if you're facing a difficult life challenge or are stressed, worried or anxious, this book is for you.</p><p>With my very best wishes, </p><p>Albert Bellg, Ph.D.</p><p>Clinical Health Psychologist</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Simply Mindful is effortless and compelling reading... a trusty guide for anyone interested in beginning or deepening the practice of mindful meditation. </em></p><p>- Cat Greenstreet, Courage & Renewal Facilitator, Writer, retired Waldorf Educator</p><p><em>This book is indeed simple, but beautifully so, with accessible, memorable practices that make sense for most of us living in a busy and some-times intense and distracting world. I appreciate the uncluttered style and the absolute lack of jargon - it feels like wise, gentle yet authoritative guidance. I have used several of the exercises with groups, and always with good effect.</em></p><p>- Nick Ross, Director, A Different Drum</p><p><em>Dr. Bellg has done it again. He has put his considerable gifts of writing in a personal, readable and concise manner toward creating a practical mindfulness guidebook for everyone and anyone. I will gladly recommend it to my own patients as a starting place for learning one of the great skills for wellness.</em></p><p>- Bruce Rybarczyk, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Virginia Commonwealth University</p><br>
