He found applied mindfulness practices to be extremely helpful for relating skillfully with emotional reactivity. While there are numerous books about mindfulness, the information can sometimes be conflicting, too conceptual, or just inadequate with regard to the actual implementation in a busy modern life.It became apparent that straightforward, practical guidance could help other people find their way to long-term, sustained well-being through mindfulness.
