"College Mindfulness Training is a unique and comprehensive offering. The book offers practical, accessible guidance for college students who want to develop a personal mindfulness practice to support them not only in facing the day-to-day challenges of college life, but in thriving in college and beyond. It also offers faculty who are committed to sharing these practices with students step-by-step guides to both the essential preparation of establishing a personal mindfulness practice, and to offering a for-credit, semester long course. Ultimately, this book will support both students and faculty in developing a personal mindfulness practice and reaping the scientifically proven benefits— experiencing less stress, anxiety and depression, and greater resilience, equanimity and contentment."
