"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."
