Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Mindfulness Journal
Corinne Sweet · 2014
74/100
👍 Worth It
A clinically grounded mindfulness workbook from a credentialed psychotherapist that has sold in over ten languages and holds up as one of the more trustworthy entries in a now-crowded field. The MBCT and MBSR roots give it real backbone, and the format is accessible enough for older teens through adults. The secular framing won't resonate with every reader on a faith-based platform, but the quality is genuine.
