(Book)

Includes index.

Life can be tough. With decisions to make at such a critical time, from subject choices to new colleges and universities, careers and relationships, it's easy to feel weighed down. What's more, there is the pressure to gain good grades, to find a good job, to be a good person. From a young age we are taught the significance of a solid education and a fruitful career, yet with such an emphasis on academic and monetary success we often fail to prioritise a healthy mind. Leaving the security of home and adjusting to new-found independence can be an exciting transition. It can also be unsettling. It is vital to know how to deal with life's many challenges and triumphs emotionally. Practising mindfulness can equip you with the skills to do this.
