Besides its intrinsic richness and proven effectiveness MBCT has another feature that is very important from a scientific point of view: it is reproducible because the methodology of the program is set in a step-by-step program, a description of the path which is passed through the 8 sessions. Herein lies the importance of this book; it offers readers a unique insight into the methods of the mindfulness program. The book is a fascinating combination of rich experiences and science. That is only possible because of the vast experience in the study and practice of mindfulness that David Dewulf has built up over many years. He empowered hundreds of people and shared his wisdom by familiarizing them with the techniques of mindfulness in the 8-week program, which are described in this book. In addition, he is an inspiring mentor with a great passion to make mindfulness available to as many people as possible. This book is a very important step on this path.
