Becky Bassham

Dr. Khazan’s book provides the reader a fabulous, comprehensive treasure trove of scientifically validated skills to mindfully navigate through adversities of life such as insomnia, stress, pain, depression, anger, shame and guilt without getting stuck in suffering. She also offers communication skills for self-talk and interacting with others in times of trouble. Her book stands out from other self-help books in that she brings in the components of psychophysiology to establish awareness of the mind-body connection, providing skills vs. pills empowering readers with purpose, rationale, incentive, and the means to self-regulate vs. medicate. All of this has the potential to help people to achieve optimal functioning and improved quality of life. I plan to purchase a copy for all my loved ones. A must-read!
