Rezensionen
"This work is a toolbox of resources to help those of us who teach mindfulness to clients, whether in a group setting or with individuals. ... Resources for Teaching Mindfulness is a good source for ideas to use in developing and improving our teaching of mindfulness. ... the book is exactly what the title claims it to be-and is a pretty good one ... ." (Leslie C. Miller, Philosophical Practice, Vol. 12 (3), November, 2017)

"This is a resource book. Specifically, it is a reference for mindfulness teachers who are working with different nationalities and other special populations and issues. Each chapter would likely be of great interest to the Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) teacher who is facing the problem it addresses." (Roger Thomson, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (33), August, 2017)
