Mindfulness in Positive Psychology brings together the latest thinking in these two important disciplines. "The integration of mindfulness and positive psychology could greatly enhance our understanding of these two related fields. This book provides a comprehensive discussion of mindfulness, well-being, happiness, flow, meaning, and purpose in a wide range of populations and settings. It sheds helpful new light on how the understanding of mindfulness can enhance the study of wellbeing, and how positive psychology can enhance the study of mindfulness."- Dr Ruth Baer, Author of "Mindfulness-based Treatment Approaches" "This book comes at a time when practitioners and patients alike, are seeking self-management tools that can infiltrate and provide positive interventions into what can appear as an overwhelming sense of despair in our modern world. Ivtzan and Lomas have pulled together contributors from a variety of backgrounds, to trace mindfulness from its historically grounded Buddhist philosophical roots through to its practical application in a wide variety of therapeutic endeavours. The useful instructional elements of the chapters makes the book multifaceted, so it could be used to learn more about the attributes and enabling factors of a mindfulness approach, whether as a manager, educator, practitioner, or as an individual wanting to claim back their life in full technicolour high definition, without any electronic stimulus outside of their own beautiful minds."- Professor Sally Hardy, Head of Mental Health and Learning Disabilities, London South Bank University "What unique angle does positive psychology offer to mindfulness research?
