This new, fully revised, and expanded second edition of the handbook for the groundbreaking, evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice MBSP program is the guide you need. Developed by author Dr. Ryan M. Niemiec, scientist, educator, practitioner, and a global leader in mindfulness and character strengths, the MBSP approach is about the discovery, deepening awareness, exploration, and application of character strengths. It is about understanding and improving how we pay attention in life - the quality by which we eat, walk, work, listen, and experience joy and peace. And it is about seeing our potential - which is ignited by our strengths of perseverance, bravery, curiosity, hope, kindness, fairness, and leadership. MBSP is not only about our own and our clients' happiness, it is about the happiness of others too. It is an evolving, evidence-based program that can help people to relieve their suffering by using mindfulness and character strengths to cope with, overcome, or transcend problems,
stressors, and conflicts.
Counselors, coaches, psychologists, researchers, educators, and managers will discover the "how-to" delivery of mindfulness and character strengths. Following primers on the two strands of MBSP and deeper discussions about their integration, practitioners are then led step-by-step through the sessions of the popular MBSP program. The session structure, scripts, tips, lecture material, processes, examples, and audio files are all there ready for use. This time-tested manual can bring beginners up-to-date on these topics while serving to stimulate, inform, and provide valuable tools to the intermediate and most advanced students of mindfulness and/or character strengths.
Audio tracks and accompanying scripts as well as appendices on MBSP are available for download and clinical use.
