Book description

Incorporating the theoretical conceptualizations of Jon Kabat-Zinn and Ellen Langer, this volume illustrates how performers from a variety of disciplines - including sport, dance and music - can use mindfulness to achieve peak performance and improve personal well-being. Leading scholars in the field present cutting-edge research and outline their unique approach to mindfulness that is supported by both theory and practice. They provide an overview of current mindfulness-based manuals and programs used around the globe in countries such as the United States, China and Australia, exploring their effectiveness across cultures. Mindfulness and Performance will be a beneficial reference for practitioners, social and sport psychologists, coaches, athletes, teachers and students.

Reviews

'Mindfulness and Performance is an extremely comprehensive volume, which summarizes the theoretical foundations, and scientific research to date regarding how mindfulness training enhances performance. It is a must read for professionals interested in sharing mindfulness and supporting athletes, musicians, and others in finding flow in sports and in life.'

Amy Saltzman - author of Still Quiet Place for Athletes: Transformational Mindfulness Skills for Finding Flow in Sports and in Life
