     Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), as pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, is now being successfully applied in myriad areas of human activity—most recently, education. It's no surprise that psychologists and educators have found that mindfulness-based practices improve attention and performance and reduce stress in the classroom and in other school-based activities. This book is a thorough yet readable introduction to mindfulness and its applications and a primer for educators on how it can be used with students, with numerous practical exercises.
     The authors cover such topics as
   • cultivating resilience and managing stress
   • emotional development
   • communication and relationships
   • mindful use of technology
   • mindfulness for enhancing creativity
   • mindfulness and sports
   • teaching with attention
   • working with resistance
   • managing personal stress in the classroom
   • and much more
