I've been hearing about mindfulness and meditation lately especially my daughter, but had noone to explain it to me or walk me through the process as this book does!

This was an interesting book. I thought the information presented was well laid out and flowed well. I really enjoyed reading it and want to try and start implementing some of what I read.

As someone with 21 years of recovery from a drug and alcohol addiction, I am always looking for new tools to add to my recovery tool box. Prayer and meditation have been key for me over the years and I have loved learning about mindfulness practices over the years.

This book is just what the world needs. A small, easy to read book that incorporates mindfulness into 12 step work.

Beverly Conyers is a trusted voice in recovery communities and this book is evidence as to why she has earned our trust.

Buy this for yourself and anyone you know in recovery. Add this to your libraries literature tables too!

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

I'm not in recovery, but this has solid approaches to mindfulness regardless of your orientation and challenges. Lots of suggestions/exercises/practices that may benefit readers.

I really appreciate the NetGalley copy for review!!

A different approach for people seeking a different path to recovery and overcoming addiction. Drawing on eastern traditions, the practice of mindfulness described here does not require religious belief, which will appeal to those looking for something less Christian-centric than Alcoholics Anonymous. Includes practice exercises with various prompts.

This is a really nice book. I was lucky enough to attend an 8 week mindfulness based stress reduction class while I was working. There were strong ties to a local university as well as diversity with different practitioners. I agree with a previous reviewer who stated this book may be used for any type of addiction such as in my case internet shopping. I had let my mindfulness practice suffer due to chronic health problems. This book has reminded of the importance of mindfulness in self care. I would recommend this book to anyone who may be experiencing addiction or having difficulty letting go after a difficult life change. Family members struggling with a loved one’s addiction would also benefit from this book. Thank you for allowing me to review an advanced copy.

Find Your Light is a excellent book for those in recovery for addiction who are interested in mindfulness. Well written.

An introduction to mindfulness aimed at those in recovery from addiction, which for the purpose of this book means anyone who uses unhealthy distractions in an excessive way (from drugs and alcohol to food or the internet). This volume succeeds at offering ways to add a little mindfulness to every day life - and reasons why you should make the effort - in readable text and without judgement or blame. Definitely recommend this for anyone who needs to make a change in their life, no matter what their struggle. In fact, going to buy this one for my sister!
