As the challenges facing students continue to grow, the importance of mindfulness for academic and personal success is gaining recognition. Yet many students and their teachers remain unclear on how to implement mindfulness techniques successfully.

Mindfulness and Wellbeing for Student Learning is a 5-week introduction to mindfulness to support students' learning and wellbeing. Adapted from several mindfulness programmes, the book aims to help students cope with the various demands of university life and provide them with a wellbeing toolkit. Included are an array of mindfulness techniques proven to help improve focus, manage stress, regulate emotions and manage procrastination, to name a few.
The book:
Introduces a 5-week guided programme to teach students about wellbeing
Contains numerous interactive mindfulness exercises
Provides structured wellbeing lesson plans complete with resources
Draws on the real experiences and feedback of students

This book is an essential resource for students and aims to equip them with invaluable skills to overcome the anxieties and stresses of university life. No matter the subject, this book will help students to build academic and personal resilience, helping them to thrive at university and beyond. It is also a perfect book for teachers or personal tutors looking to set up mindfulness groups or simply support their students during these challenging times.
