Mindfulness is defined as a mental state
achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly
acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations,
used as a therapeutic technique. I was amused
to see on a therapist friend’s Facebook page that there is now a Ladybirds for
Adults book on Mindfulness. I hadn’t
even realised there were Ladybirds for Adults until I saw that.
I bought it for Partner-who-drinks-tea and she
laughed out loud as she read me extracts.
In my view it is an essential for the therapist in your life!
While I understand Clive's approach to lending his friends money, I think he'd gain a lot if he could be bothered to meet them :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun book to read!
Sounds like one I'd like to get a hold of.
ReplyDeleteThat is priceless! It would certainly help my mental health to be able to laugh through such a book!
ReplyDeleteSo good!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do want that book. What a fun read on a cold winter evening.
ReplyDeleteI would like those books too except for the backstory. Penguin has ignored Ladybird for years and then they ripped off the idea for these Ladybird for Adults books from a struggling artist and are making loads of money from her idea. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/14/dung-beetle-spoofs-ladybird-after-books-copyright-row Of course, mind you, she should have cleared the copyright for their illustrations... but she arguably owns the copyright of the idea for these books. It just leaves a rather nasty taste.
ReplyDeleteI had absolutely NO idea that they were Ladybird books for grownups...what will they think of next?
ReplyDeleteInteresting ... and clever! I imagine they would be quite entertaining for adults :)
ReplyDeleteI can see why PWLT laughed out loud. So did I!
ReplyDeleteHa,ha I like where it says "Printed in England, if wet, Italy".
ReplyDeleteNice touch.
Love and Laughter are certainly the best medicine there is so worth having a look at all the book as I found many of the pages made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteInteresting your comment Jenny about the back story - I hadn't heard of it and will certainly look it up.
I hope there is lots of love and laughter for everyone in 2016.
