Learn to lead a more positive life through mindfulness

• Mindfulness basics--Learn how directing your attention to the present moment can help with managing information overload, reconnecting with your body, and instilling more self compassion.
• Healing exercises--Empower yourself with supportive exercises, like journaling and meditation, that will show you how to ground yourself, respond to difficult feelings, slow racing thoughts, and more.
• Positive affirmations--Each chapter ends with a positive phrase to bring you into the moment, a verbal touchstone you can repeat whenever you need it, like at the start of your day or before a big meeting.

Mindfully manage your depression and become more positive from the inside out with The Mindfulness Workbook for Depression.

"With an emotional roller coaster as complex and misunderstood as depression, The Mindfulness Workbook for Depression provides as much clarity of technique as it does hope for a positive outcome. In concise, clear language, Yoon Im Kane distills invaluable practices to integrate left brain with right, head with heart, doing with being, and sadness/fear with joy. The streamlining of her own lived experience with her basic suggested blueprints adds a particular poignancy to the strength and wisdom of her approach.

I leave my experience with this book grateful for its lessons and eager to keep applying its impact in my own life." --Khleber Chapman Attwell, M.D., M.P.H., Former Clinical Director of Medical Student Mental Health Service, Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, and Author of 100 Questions and Answers About Anxiety
