This practical manual uses acronyms to introduce mindfulness techniques. Biegel, a psychotherapist, begins with PAWS (“pay attention with the senses”), which emphasizes using the five senses to maintain awareness. Next, she introduces “self-CARE” (“compassion, acceptance, respect, esteem”), urging readers to find joy through hobbies, music, “downtime” and gratitude. Finally, Biegel includes strategies for communicating in a purposeful and meaningful way, explored through the acronym ACORN (“always consider other responses now”). Mindfulness, suggests Biegel, is not a series of steps to follow, but a constellation of tactics for finding clarity and safety, even in overwhelming circumstances. By avoiding a prescriptive tone, Biegel offers an intuitive resource for readers seeking greater control over their emotions and perceptions.” –Publishers Weekly
