What Amazon customers are saying about this book...


5.0 out of 5 stars ❤️❤️This book is Dynamite, absolute Gold Dust ❤️❤️
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2020
I have been a student of yoga and meditation for nearly 40 years and have travelled the World working under different yoga teachers, learning breathing techniques, different styles of meditation, in the quest to find peace and contentment. And am now a yoga teacher myself.


I have found this authors book phenomenal. Each chapter is clear, concise and written in lay mans language. It is evident that the author is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject, but at the time she bases her knowledge to every day things/events that one can immediately relate to and use in their everyday life.


I have found over the years that many books have a few key nuggets and the rest is just padding. This book is very different, every single chapter is full of priceless nuggets. In addition, it gives you access to 8 progressive audio recordings to be played (a different one every week). The author's voice is wonderful, it is informative, clear, concise but comes across as soft, calming, caring and empathetic.


An absolute must if you are suffering with any kind of anxiety, I guarantee you wont regret buying this ❤️

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read, informative and easy to follow
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020
Antonia Ryan has written a very simple and practical guide for those new to the ideas of mindfulness and detachment. Over the course of eight weeks, the reader is led through daily meditations optionally accompanied by an audio download. For those new to meditation for anxiety and stress, it's strongly recommended to listen to the meditation rather than read through it.

Ryan also encourages a daily journal, which comes in handy when the reader wants to refer back to a chapter or have a more objective view of an incident or thought.

Each day ends with a meditation and journal entry. Each week ends with a summary of the previous days' practices.

Unlike other self help books, Ryan does not bombard the reader with statistics or medical terminology. The book is less about why and more about how. For those seeking a systematic approach to dealing with stress and anxiety, this is the book for you.

Ryan never explicitly uses the term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but this book definitely follows the methodology. While she clearly states she is not a medical professional, her knowledge of the topic is apparent. She correctly notes that meditation is a well-researched practice for those suffering anxiety, and she clearly has much experience with it. The book is populated with examples from her own life and others. Using these real life experiences of common phobias and attachments, Ryan is able to connect with the reader through understanding and empathy.

And that is the true wisdom of the book. What Ryan reveals in Mindfulness for Stress and Anxiety is not just her own experience, but her own compassionate nature. There is an easiness in her writing that is more friend than practitioner. She never judges, demands or demeans. But Ryan also manages to avoid mawkish sentimentality and watered down generalities, which reveals a professionalism often lacking in books written by laymen. To her credit, Ryan has walked the line between practitioner and patient beautifully. This balance pays off for the reader, too, in a sense of security and trust. Here is a writer that can teach because she has mastered.

Ryan's writing is also fluid and conversational. One feels rather they have been invited to a cozy gathering rather than being recruited for a task.

Make no mistake, however, Mindfulness for Stress and Anxiety is a workbook. There are expectations that the reader will actually incorporate the practices into their daily lives. But Ryan gives lots of encouragement along the way, and simple, direct instruction unencumbered by medical jargon or statistics. Once again, Ryan incorporates a proven methodology - SMART - without actually stating it. SMART is the acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. It is a common term used in personal and professional goal setting that some readers will be familiar with and will recognize as an underlying technique.

With these measurable goals and concrete steps to success, Ryan has written a book that anyone suffering stress and anxiety can follow. It is a modest book that promises vainglorious results.

If you want to make mindfulness a habit, this book is for you. It combines informative reading with guided mindfulness practice. I've tried meditation many times before but always failed. The author gives a possible explanation for that: Sitting down and counting your breath can actually increase your anxiety if you're already an anxious person. Definitely true in my case. Instead, the book comes with guided meditations that allow you to focus on Antonia Ryan's voice, which I found very soothing. I've been reading and meditating for 18 days in a row now and am already looking forward to sit down for meditation number 19. Best of all, mindfulness suddenly feels easy. An excellent book!

I really enjoyed reading this. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone but certainly those who want to gather their thoughts and gain a more positive perspective on life and emotions.

Some great analogies linked in with real studies that makes this book very interesting and relatable.
I really enjoyed using the body scan and mindfulness techniques. These will help me in the long and short term.

I have just ordered the paper back of this book as well! Hopefully see more from the author soon.
