Looking for a good book for Christmas Vacation...

ljbljbMember
I'm leaving on vacation on Saturday. Looking for some good books to put in my Nook before leaving the the caribbean. I'm looking for something dealing with overcoming trauma, mindfulness...perhaps something zen-like? Although cruising through the islands should be calming and theraputic in itself, we still take ourselves with us where ever we go. Looking for some inspiration. Anything new out there on the market that anyone has experienced?

Thank you in advance.

LJB - Sounds like a great place to be!

You could consider any of the books by Jon Kabat-Zinn. He's the mindfulness guru.

It might be a good idea to leave the trauma kind of books at home. The vacation needs to be a healing restful time away from everyday stresses. Reading and thinking about mindfulness would actually give you a way to have a heightened awareness of the the beauty around you and to absorb that into your life.

Check out this website for information about Kabat-Zinn's books.

Have a wonderful trip!

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
