FAQ
How do you know these really are the best mindfulness books?
Of course "best" is subjective. But we believe our method creates the most objective list! We looked at the most popular lists of top mindfulness books on the internet and averaged their results (instead of just hiring a writer to make up their own list).
Are mindfulness books the best way to learn?
They're a start. But we also recommend checking out courses and videos online (ESPECIALLY for guided meditations!)
How are these different from other meditation books?
These specifically teach you the best mindulness techniques. There are several different types of meditation, mindfulness is one of them.
Why can't I see how each of these was rated?
The biggest compliment our site gets is how clean our pages are. Which is why we don't clutter it like others who add stars or avg rating or anything like that. We always thought it would remove our biggest advantage. Besides, we already link to Amazon! Where thousands of people have already written all the extra help, evidence, and information you need (and can also buy the book if it's available).
