A warmhearted and accessible resource for skillfully meeting the cognitive changes associated with aging. With the practice of mindfulness at its core, Wisdom Mind reminds us that along with whatever contractions in mental abilities we may notice, there is also scope for expansion and vibrant cognitive engagement. This book is the perfect guide for learning how to balance the two. * Zindel Segal, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders, University of Toronto Scarborough, co-author The Mindful Way Through Depression * Wisdom Mind is a wonderful tool for clinicians and patients alike! It is based in evidence and specifically designed to support those facing or fearful of cognitive decline. The step-by-step suggestions and practices in the program offer ways to support cognitive wellness as well as cultivate the attitudes of mindfulness that can help all of us face ageing. Thank you Dr. Smart for providing us with a wonderful resource which serves both as intervention and prevention! * Fraser Black, MD, CCFP(PC), FCFP, Physician/Clinical Professor/Assistant Dean - UBC Faculty of Medicine, Art of Living Mindfully (BCALM) Mindfulness Facilitator * Many of us experience subtle decline in cognitive functioning in the second half of life. While in most this is a sign of normal aging, in some it may progress onward to dementia. However, we know today that we actively support our brain health by mindfulness training. Dr. Smart's manual is an excellent example of how this knowledge from science can serve individual people in maintaining brain function and improving quality of life. * Frank Jessen, MD, University of Cologne *
