Reviews-
January 29, 2018 This practical handbook uses acronyms to introduce mindful techniques. Biegel, a psychotherapist, begins with PAWS (“pay attention with senses”), which emphasizes using the five senses to maintain awareness. Next, she introduces “self-CARE” (“compassion, acceptance, respect, esteem”), urging readers to find joy through hobbies, music, “down time,” and gratitude. Finally, Biegel includes strategies for communicating purposefully and meaningfully, explored through the acronym of ACORN (“always considering other responses now”). Mindfulness, Biegel suggests, is not a series of steps to follow but a constellation of tactics for finding clarity and security, even amid overwhelming circumstances. By avoiding a prescriptive tone, Biegel offers an intuitive resource for readers seeking to gain greater control over their emotions and perceptions. Ages 13–up.
Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence
"This book brings mindfulness down to earth with many wonderfully simple ways to savor life and come home to yourself. It's also rich with methods for self-compassion and self-care. Gina Biegel writes with remarkable clarity, simplicity, and heart. A truly beautiful, thorough, helpful book."
Congressman Tim Ryan
"Be Mindful and Stress Less provides teens and young adults with the tools they need to navigate their way through life. This book is full of accessible and practical skills to bring mindfulness, acceptance, self-care, and compassion into your life. I wish I had these practices when I was younger."
