Now Kabat-Zinn has teamed up with several other experts in the field of mindfulness and cognitive therapy to write The Mindful Way through Depression. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Whether you are walking a black dog or just want to understand your mind & emotions better, this book will take you through the process of understanding and implementing the practice of mindfulness in the treatment of depression. It also includes a CD with several guided meditations as well as an 8 week treatment plan.
If you’d like to know more about mindfulness just take a look at this video. It’s over an hour long but well worth the time. Enjoy

Thanks for recommending this book - The Mindful Way through Depression. I picked it up from the library this afternoon. I need serious help with stopping my endless rumination - I hope this book will show me how.
(BTW, I had forgotten what a wonderful resource the library is.)
The library is a great place. You should be able to find all of Kabat-Zinn’s books there. I hope the copy you picked up still has the CD in it.
Stick with it and remember what they say about the mind and thinking - it’s in its nature to jump around. Be patient and practice ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. Good luck.
