Expert hypnobirthing teacher and founder of The Positive Birth Company, Siobhan Miller has made it her mission to change the way women around the world approach and experience birth. Through her teaching she seeks to educate and empower women—and their birth partners—so that they can enjoy amazing and positive birth experiences, however they choose to bring their babies into the world. Siobhan debunks common myths about hypnobirthing and explains why she believes it can make every type of birth a better experience—from a water birth at home to an unplanned caesarean in theatre.

You can train your brain to pay attention more effectively. Acclaimed neuroscientist Dr Amishi Jha has dedicated her life's work to understanding the science of attention at every level - from brain-imaging studies in the lab to field testing soldiers, firefighters and athletes. Her mission has been to scientifically determine how we can harness the full power of our attention to better meet all that life demands. 

Work deadlines, to-do lists, family commitments, pressure to perform...Our frantic lives demand so much from us that we can often feel locked into a cycle of frustration, anxiety and stress, unable to tackle the tasks before us or see a way out of our habitual ways of thinking and doing things. Yet there is a way out. The simple mindfulness techniques at the heart of this book have been proven to enhance creativity, problem solving and decision making.

Pain, suffering, and stress can be intolerable - but it doesn't have to be this way. Mindfulness for Health reveals a set of simple practices that you can incorporate into daily life to relieve chronic pain, suffering and stress. Clinical trials show that mindfulness meditation is at least as effective as the most commonly prescribed painkillers and can be more powerful than morphine. Mindfulness can also significantly reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion and insomnia that can arise from chronic pain and illness.

Kabat-Zinn focuses on the 'how' of mindfulness - explaining how meditation brings us into intimate relationship with all our senses, how to establish a formal meditation practice and how to overcome some of the common obstacles to incorporating meditation into daily life in an age of perpetual self-distraction. By 'coming to our senses' both literally and metaphorically we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings and, in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Now, Coming to Our Senses is being repackaged into four smaller books, each focusing on a different aspect of mindfulness and each with a new foreword written by the author. In the first of these books, Meditation Is Not What You Think (which was originally published as part I and part II of Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on the 'what' and the 'why' of mindfulness - explaining why meditation is not for the 'fainthearted', how meditation can actually be a radical act of love and why paying attention is so supremely important. 

No matter who we are, or what stage of life we are at, we all long for similar things; to be happy, connected with others, in touch with a sense of calm and peace, vital, alive and joyful. And we long to be able to ride out the tough patches that hit all of us from time to time with some degree of grace and dignity. The good news is that we can fulfil these longings at any time, in any place. They are only a moment away, a breath away.

For the past three decades, Wherever You Go, There You Are has helped catalyse the explosion of interest in mindfulness around the world. While mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation, its essence is universal and of deep practical benefit, potentially to all. In essence, mindfulness is about embodied wakefulness. Our minds are such that we are often more asleep than awake to the unique beauty and possibilities of each present moment.

In our identity-obsessed culture, it is easy to think that who we are is determined by what we see in the mirror. But what if we open our minds to the notion that we are souls journeying through many lives over time? How would it change the way we think about ourselves now to remember how we lived before? Michelle Brock has helped thousands of people discover the stories of their previous lives - their traumas and triumphs, losses and loves - and has witnessed incredible results. When we learn our stories from the past, we can reach unprecedented heights of self-awareness in the present.

There are moments in life that decide your fate. They ripple into the future and dictate how you experience the world in the moments that follow; either positive and uplifting, dark and chaotic, or flat and dull. What if you could recognise these moments before they seized control of your life? What if you could use them to set sail for a better future? What if all moments, big and small, could be harnessed this way? In Deeper Mindfulness, Oxford Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman reunite to present a new eight-week guided meditation programme that takes mindfulness to the next level.

In The StrongLikeMum Method, pre- and postnatal fitness expert and mum of four Shakira Akabusi accompanies you on your pregnancy journey and throughout the first year of motherhood to help you tap into the full power of your body and mind with accessible exercise and wellness advice. The benefits of leading an active lifestyle are so much greater than the aesthetic goals we're bombarded with. This book will unlock secrets that have been hidden in history and show how the female body has adapted and changed to become the powerful force it is today.

When Dr Eben Alexander wrote about his own startling near-death experience in Proof of Heaven, he was contacted by countless people from all walks of life. His story had touched them personally and they in turn had their own miraculous experiences of the afterlife to share with Eben. In The Map of Heaven, Eben recounts the astonishing stories he has heard on his travels, from near-death experiences and encounters with angelic beings to inspiring messages from departed loved ones.

Go on a journey into the heart of what is required for real change, growth and happiness. Muscara exposes how the phrase 'be present' has become little more than a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about a person, and one that comes only when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest and integrated selves in the world.

Best-selling author Goldie Hawn offers parents a practical guide for helping their children to learn better and live more happily. Based on the MindUP programme, supported by the Hawn Foundation, 10 Mindful Minutes outlines short, practical exercises for parents and children - taking less than 10 minutes - to help young children and teenagers reduce stress and anxiety, improve concentration and academic performance, effectively manage emotions and behaviour, develop greater empathy for others and the world, and be more optimistic and happy.  

More than 20 years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. He followed that up with 2005's Coming to Our Senses, the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our well-being on every level: physical, cognitive, emotional, social, planetary and spiritual.
