This book is well written with quite practical tips to be done in office or work settings. It is good for beginner or someone who just got interested into mindfullness

Mindfulness at Work is very helpful guide in how one can use the skills of mindfulness to deal with various situations at work. I would recommend it to anyone who might be struggling with work.

I really thought I had already given feedback on this tile. I was mistaken.

This book is full of great mindfulness techniques that can be used by almost anyone.THE book has a nice layout and the colors are nice. But there was very little that distinguished this as a book about work. Most everything was basic mindfulness. It needed a bit more tailoring to truly make it useful in the workplace.

I am unable to give feedback on this book as it was a PDF copy and expired before I was able to read it - I am therefore giving it 2 stars as it would be unfair to give it 1

Is there anything which can be done to stop PDFs expiring?

Such an interesting read, filled with tips I'll definitely be trying at work. I also really like how this was written, and found it easy to understand.

Mindfulness at Work now is a decent book, but there is not any new insights in it then you can find in a lot of books out there. The book is well written.

I have been taking a leadership class through my employer and this book was extremely helpful. In fact I have recommended it for part of our class assignment. Very well done

Adults spend much of their time either at work or thinking about work. No matter what the job or profession, people have feelings about their work, its setting, their co-workers, etc. In this title, the author encourages readers to think openly about what happens for them at work and how they feel about it. The author frames this exploration through mindfulness. Readers are encouraged to take a non-judgmental approach and to listen to the voices inside. They do this through a series of suggested activities and meditations. I found it interesting that the author encouraged looking back to how attitudes were formed, for example, having readers think about their first educational experiences, how they were prepared and what it was like.

This book could be helpful to many. If a reader is contemplating change, this title will help to explore it. If a reader comes to feel that they can make their current work well for them this is encouraged as well. In each instance, the author guides readers to do what they feel is best for them.

Many thanks for the publisher and NetGalley for this title in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is a self help book which is free of complexities.

It is for masses. As most of us are employees. Following few enterpraneurs and leaders.

Book is about ever so touchy employees who seek to change job frequently instead of trying to sort out problems at workplace.
And their continuous search for a delightful job lands them into frustration.

But mind it, that it is not a technical book.
It is more of a spiritual take on this problem with focus on mindfulness and acceptance.

Writing is simple, cohesive and informative.
Even real life examples and dialogues of fictional boss and employees are given.

Author says one should observe without judging and allow instead of controlling.
Try to enhance positives and try to avoid competition.

Also tips about conflict resolution and effective communication.
Overall a useful book to earn a fresh look on your job and trying to love your old, hairy, grumpy, tepid job.

Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

My thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Leaping Hare Press for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

I was having a tough time at work a few weeks ago, so seeing this book offered on NetGalley seemed to be the universe trying to tell me something. I requested it and started to read.

Now, I have never read a book on mindfulness before, but I thought it would have more exercises with clearer steps. Also, many of the examples and scenes given seemed to be very un-mindful of others and unrealistic in how people actually speak in real life. I won't go into any direct quotes, as what I read was an eARC and subject to change, but I will say that the suggested way dialogue could have happened sounded like the characters had sticks lodged firmly up their rears.

There are examples from the authors life used to illustrate what they had to say and one of the examples made them sound like they were an entitled special snowflake and completely not mindful of other people at all.

A paraphrase of what was going on.

A relative of the author's was going to graduate and the entire family from all over the country and possibly from some other countries came for the big day. (Not sure how ALL of them were allowed in, as when I graduated, each graduate received four tickets for family, because space was at a premium.) One of the family members was 83 and in a wheelchair. The area for those in wheelchairs was separate from the rest of the seating area and only one person was allowed to accompany them to that special seating area. The author was trying to argue why it was a special occasion for the whole family and why it was important for them all to sit together (ie-in the special seating area), and the security guard kept telling them it was the rules. She interpreted that as he was afraid of his job and breaking the rules when the rules should be applied on a case by case basis, etc. His repetition that it was the rules showed his fear in his job.

Uh, no, he probably had to say the same darn thing to 50 people before lil Ms. Special Snowflake and it was annoying to him why she didn't get that she was acting like the rules didn't apply to her. If he let her and her family in, then why not let everyone in? Then those in the special seating area who needed it wouldn't be able to have the room they legitimately needed. Also, kind of obvious if he let in one person in a wheelchair and 50 people who were not.

That little example just soured this entire book for me. Maybe I completely missed the mindfulness point, but somehow I don't think so. There were a few other instances that really jarred me, but this one was the worst.

So upon reflection, this book is a 1 star for me. I won't give up on trying to become more mindful, but this book didn't aid me in the slightest. Not one I would recommend.

I really enjoyed this book, definitely a lot of “food for thought” in it. I didn’t read the book cover to cover I really dipped in and out of the chapters that I felt were of interest to me. I will be recommending this book as a read for my work colleagues so thank you for the review copy I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Different things/topics to think about - explained. Some information and some stories. Not a long book. Things like fitting in, balance, the way it is and other stuff.

This format did not translate well online. I have a great interest in all things "mindful" and will be purchasing this title as soon as possible. It was simple, relatable, and very relevant to what we deal with in the workplace. I'll be sharing it during our staff meetings.

A useful and interesting book, full of hints and ideas that I will surely use in my workplace.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
