We are deeply grateful to the many mindfulness based researchers and therapists who we have had the honour to work with and learn from over the years; your wisdom and passion inspire us. Thank you to all of our clients, who have taught us the most; without you this book would not have been possible. Finally, with heartfelt gratitude to all our loved ones for their unwavering support and love. May you all find joy, peace and ease in your life.

We and the publisher would like to thank Stu McLellan for his wonderful illustrations (www.stumclellan.co.uk).
