Description

"A highly practical workout for busy minds" Guardian Each morning most of us will spend about ten minutes in the shower, ten minutes making and eating breakfast but no time at all clearing our minds. Ten to Zen is a simple, effective and fuss-free guide to help you start your day in the right head-space to prepare for the challenges it may bring. Ten to Zen uses a combination of four therapeutic models - Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy - in a simple, easy-to-follow programme. You will learn: > How to settle your mind quickly > How to focus and retrain your brain on dealing with stress > How to restructure unhelpful patterns of thinking > How to develop ways of communicating that are more effective Ten to Zen was developed by Owen O'Kane to encourage new principles for living based on his experience as a psychotherapist and his many years of caring for the dying in the field of palliative care, which has hugely influenced how he works and how he views life. PRAISE FOR TEN TO ZEN "Owen offers a unique, fresh perspective and has created a valuable, time efficient toolkit for absolutely anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing." Dr Angharad Ruttley "Simple 10-minute process to inner peace in a new book loved by stressed-out celebs" Daily Mail
