Highlights from my favourite books-1

• Tuba shared from Mindfulness: A practical guide to peace in a frantic world by Prof Mark Williams, Dr Danny Penman

  A flicker of sadness, frustration or anxiety can bring back unsettling memories, whether you want them or not. Soon you can be lost in gloomy thoughts and negative emotions. And often you don’t know where they came from – they just appeared, seemingly from thin air. You can become bad tempered, irritable or sad without really knowing why. You’re left wondering, Why am I in a bad mood? Or, Why do I feel so sad and tired today?
