Recommendation
Psychologist Lara E. Fielding offers a map of the path to adulthood and teaches readers how to gain new skills that can ease disquieting or stressful feelings. People often develop habits to make life easier and then forget why they adopted them in the first place. Fielding suggests using mindfulness to detect and address these habits. She suggests also applying mindfulness to identify and reframe past events that impose a lingering anxiety on your present life. Fielding effectively blends observation, theory and case studies in her discussion of using mindfulness to navigate life’s challenges.
