The Mindful Way Through Depression
内容简介
If you’ve ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way through Depression , four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to think” our way out of a bad mood or just snap out of it” lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life’s challenges with greater resilience. Jon Kabat-Zinn gently and encouragingly narrates the accompanying CD of guided meditations, making this a complete package for anyone seeking to regain a sense of hope and well-being. (20101015)

全天候练习正念的五部曲： 1.如果可能的话，一次只做一件事。 2.对你做的事情全神贯注。 3.当思维从你手边的事情游离开去时，把它拉回到现实中来。 4.几十亿次地重复第三个步骤。 5.研究让你分心的事物。
我们所体验到的不是一个简单的悲伤事件，而是被那些缺点和无能感所渲染放大的事件。而我们常常意识不到那些思维模式仅仅是记忆的一部分，并不是现实，于是给自己造成了很大的伤害。我们对此时此刻的自己产生了不满的情绪，但是却意识不到这种不满其实来自于过去的思维模式。
情绪不是我们的敌人，它只是传递信息的使者。
