"Whether you're a vehement critic, still sitting on the fence or feel marginalized in your enthusiasm for mindfulness-based workplace interventions, I urge you to read this important book! Its inclusion of inspiring yet honest stories from practitioners and organisations actually applying mindfulness is particularly welcome in what is still a rather barren field....This collection goes a long way to... heal the split between the personal and the professional in the workplace and beyond, fostering organizational cultures in which people can flourish." * Liz Hall, author of Mindful Coaching and editor of Coaching in Times of Crisis and Transformation *
"Chapman-Clarke introduces an impressive array of perspectives, many of them from HR practitioners working in a range of sectors. But she also sets mindfulness in a broader context, and examines critically what evidence-based mindfulness might actually look like." * People Management *
"The book draws across real-life mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and discusses how they were used in a variety of workplaces and organisations, in order to facilitate positive changes in employee engagement, improve workload and reduce stress.... This book was highly-researched and deserves to be on the bookshelf of any one who is thinking about using mindfulness in their work environment." * Suzanne Collier RCDP, founder of bookcareers.com, for Career Matters magazine *
