Psychologist Fielding uses her background in mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapies to help young people master the emotional aspects of growing up. The author discusses feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, and stress and prescribes antidotes in the form of mindfulness practices. Divided into four sections, the work considers understanding one's own hardwiring, setting commitments, identifying one's skills, and putting together a personalized plan for maintaining wellness.
VERDICT Great for mindfulness devotees but otherwise an optional purchase.
