Resources
Mindfulness can begin with knowledge. It is with that understanding we have curated a list of some of our favorite books, authors, articles, and apps to explore. With so many favorites it does sometimes become hard to choose so we will be back updating this list regularly.
As we update, we love to hear your feedback on which resources you have enjoyed or maybe would like to see more of in the future.

Authors & Books
Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
This is a book for anyone and everyone, both a taste of mindfulness for newbies and a favorite to go back to after decades of practice. If you listen to it on Audible, it is read by the author, who is indeed one of the founders of the modern day mindfulness movement.
Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition) by Jon Kabat-Zinn
A veritable tome and the core of the MBSR program (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), a great choice for someone looking for the deep dive.
No Time Like the Present by Jack Kornfield
This brilliant scholar and teacher, author of many great books, presents deep teachings of mindfulness and compassion in the most ordinary and sweet way, the book is a gem.
A primer on the intersection of mindfulness, meditation, happiness and neuroscience. A fun read that will encourage you to start your own practice.
Altered Traits by Daniel Goleman and Richard J. Davidson
The subtitle of this fascinating and well written book says it all: Science reveals how meditation changes your mind, brain and body.
Apps & Software
Well, you can't beat the name of this one, I feel better already! As a sleep medicine specialist as well as having suffered insomnia, I enjoy the sleep stories (which lull, relax or bore you to sleep!), extensive music selections and targeted meditations. This app may be of particular interest for those who name insomnia and tension as major concerns.
This app springs from Dan Harris and his book of the same name, and is the go to app for people who are not really keen on meditation but want the real deal without any new age dressing. He has brought together some superb teachers and this app is always on my phone.
This app is available free, and is literally the brain child of neuroscientists associated with the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Training and practice are focused on those areas in mindfulness and meditation that have been shown to have real positive effects on wellbeing and the brain.
Susan is a first class meditation teacher with a well developed website and many innovative offerings.
