Have you ever found yourself thinking your way into a tangle of fret, frustration, or gloom? And then something small - a few kind words, the sun glancing through the clouds, a warm cup of tea - gave you a welcome pause from all your inner chatter? With Making Friends with Your Mind, that's what Pema Chödrön helps us to do, not by chance but with our full intention: to stop fighting with our thoughts and reopen ourselves to wonder as naturally as we breathe.

The Mindful Living series is a new series of short mindfulness books dedicated to enhance three important areas of our lives: work, relationships and parenting. Best-selling author and mindfulness guru Oli Doyle shows that all the key domains of life provide great opportunities to practice mindfulness and discover peace of mind. In Mindfulness at Work, Oli guides the listener through a six-week guide to show that even with demanding bosses and stressful environments, we actually can be happy at work.

Do you lay awake at night going over things that happened that day or what you need to do the next day? Do you get easily overwhelmed with emotion? Is work stress taking a toll on your mental health? Is it just time you did something for yourself? Even if you are just getting started, practicing mindfulness meditation can have many positive effects on your mind and body. These include reduced anxiety and obsessive, repetitive thoughts, improved sleep quality and increased focus, clarity and productivity.
