It also offers us a way in which to acknowledge the limitations and challenges inherent in the human condition. This book covers a brief history of mindfulness, its applications, and a review of the current evidence base, as well as some key debates in the field.

Chapters particularly emphasise the role mindfulness can play in addressing the major environmental, social, and political challenges of our time.
