Mindful Emotion: A Short Course in Kindness
Autor Paramabandhu Groves, Jed Shamelen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2017
A practical course in cultivating kindness to complement and augment other mindfulness-based approaches.
This book is all about kindness behaviour training (KBT). The authors have drawn on their clinical experience as well as Buddhism to develop a practical course in cultivating kindness, intended to complement and augment other mindfulness-based approaches. Amid the recent explosion of secular mindfulness, their aim is to reemphasize the importance of the heart, introducing the reader to a variety of ways of approaching kindness-based meditation, as well as to how to put kindness into practice in daily life.
A range of psychological theories and areas of research inform the KBT approach, primarily findings from cognitive neuroscience, as well as evolutionary and positive psychology literatures. It also uses a range of exercises found to be helpful in Eastern traditions, such as Buddhism. The book will act as a companion, walking the reader through each week of the course.
Dr Paramabandhu Groves is a consultant psychiatrist working in the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, specializing in the field of addiction. He is a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order.
Dr Jed Shamel works as a clinical psychologist in East London. He is a member of the British Psychological Society, with particular interests in community psychology and compassion-focused interventions with individuals and groups.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Buy this book, read it, practise with it. It’s a wonderfully welcome
addition to the body of work around mindfulness and compassion.
It’s engaging; down-to-earth but uplifting; and very much to the
point.
The authors come across as kindly but never sentimental and
their book extends the conversation around mindfulness – and its
practice – into further, and much needed, domains.
I’ll certainly be recommending it to all those who have attended
my mindfulness classes.
Michael Chaskalson, author of Mindfulness in Eight Weeks
Mindful Emotion: A Short Course in Kindness is a stimulating guide
and training program that uses the analogy of cultivating a garden
that results in the finest flowers and fruits to illustrate the process
of cultivating kindness toward others. A variety of secular-based
mindfulness meditation instructions and thoughtful exercises
support this process of creating a garden of kindness, which is what
our world so badly needs right now.
Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron, author of Good Karma: How to Create
the Causes of Happiness and Avoid the Causes of Suffering
The last 20 years has seen research showing us that what motivates
us also patterns our minds and bodies. While modern societies
encourage self-focused competitiveness, ancient wisdoms point
to the importance of caring, helping, supporting, kindness and
compassion for self and others as the true path to happiness and
well-being. This deeply informative book brings together secular
science, ancient wisdoms and psychotherapeutic insights, in a series
of steps and practices to cultivate kindness to self and others and
thereby reap its benefits. Accessible and practical, this book will be
of great benefit to many.
Professor Paul Gilbert, PhD, FBPsS, OBE, author of The Compassionate
Mind
With the problems we face in today’s world, kindness is more
important than ever. In Mindful Emotion, the authors have
produced a thorough and pragmatic guide to bringing mindfulness
and kindness into our lives. It is an excellent book that I will be
recommending to colleagues, clients, and friends.
Russell Kolts, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Eastern Washington
University and author of CFT Made Simple: A Clinician’s Guide to
Practicing Compassion-Focused Therapy
The benefits of mindfulness are so much greater when they include
a focus on kindness and compassion, both for ourselves and others.
This book is a wonderful journey through the art and practice of
mindful kindness – or as I like to call it, Kindfulness.
Dr Mark Williamson, Director of Action for Happiness
This book is all about kindness behaviour training (KBT). The authors have drawn on their clinical experience as well as Buddhism to develop a practical course in cultivating kindness, intended to complement and augment other mindfulness-based approaches. They are now presenting this training in an eight-week course book.
Amid the recent explosion of secular mindfulness, their aim is to reemphasize the importance of the heart, introducing the reader to a variety of ways of approaching kindness-based meditation, as well as to how to put kindness into practice in daily life.
A range of psychological theories and areas of research inform the KBT approach, primarily findings from cognitive neuroscience, as well as evolutionary and positive psychology literatures. It also uses a range of exercises found to be helpful in Eastern traditions, such as Buddhism. The KBT exercises have been isolated from their religious or spiritual origins and are used on a secular basis.
The book will act as a companion, walking the reader through each week of the course offering guidance, reflections, and outlining the exercises in a concise user-friendly style. Worksheets and homework tasks to be completed into the book for each week will make the book interactive and accessible.
