Description

"Give yourself over day by day, thought by thought, moment by moment to this reliable and profound form of nurturance and healing." —Jon Kabat-Zinn, from the Preface

"The MBAR programme draws on a wide range of the Buddha's practical, yet deeply profound, teachings. Over the eight steps you are given a priceless gift the possibility to gain mastery over your mind and heart and find freedom." —Vidyamala Burch, founder and co-director of Breathworks and author of Mindfulness for Health

"Blending MBAR with traditional Buddhist teachings and personal stories, the authors give us a wise and compassionate approach to recovery from the range of addictions. This comprehensive approach will be a valuable tool for addicts and addiction professionals alike." —Kevin Griffin, author of One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps

Winner of the 2014 USA Best Book Award and the 2015 International Book Award in the Self-Help: Motivational category.

This new edition includes a foreword by Jon Kabat-Zinn, advice on how to run an Eight Step Recovery meeting, and insight on how to teach a Mindfulness Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR) program, including teacher's notes and handouts.
