Book synopsis

Looking for the latest research and practices on character strengths and mindfulness?§Curious about how character strengths can supercharge your mindfulness practice?§Or how mindfulness can help you deploy your best qualities? Look no further the§answers are in this book!§At the core of this hands-on resource for psychologists and other practitioners, including§educators, coaches, and consultants, is Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP),§the first structured program to combine mindfulness with the character strengths§laid out in the VIA Institute s classification developed by Drs. Martin E. P. Seligman and§Christopher Peterson. This 8-session program systematically boosts awareness and application§of character strengths, helping people flourish and lead more fulfilling lives.§The author s vast experience working with both mindfulness and character strengths§is revealed in his sensitive and clear presentation of the conceptual, practical, and§scientific elements of this unique combined approach. It is not only those who are§new to mindfulness or to character strengths who will appreciate the detailed primers§on these topics in the first section of the book. And the deep discussions about the§integration of mindfulness and character strengths in the second section will benefit§not just intermediate and advanced practitioners. The third section then leads readers§step-by-step through each of the 8 MBSP sessions, including details of session structure§and content, suggested homework, 30 practical handouts, as well as inspiring quotes§and stories and useful practitioner tips. An additional chapter discusses the adaption§of MBSP to different settings and populations (e.g., business, education, individuals,§couples). The mindfulness and character strengths meditations on the accompanying§CD support growth and development.§This highly accessible book, while primarily conceived for psychologists, educators,§coaches, and consultants, is suitable for anyone who is interested in living a flourishing§life.
