No matter what your day-to-day looks like, mindfulness can be a helpful tool to come back to calm and be more present. Defined, mindfulness is the practice of becoming more fully aware of the present moment—without judgement—rather than dwelling in the past or projecting into the future. Generally, it involves focusing on certain senses wholly, like noticing your breathing or focusing on the feel of your feet on the ground, while being as focused on the moment as possible. 

If you’re looking to learn more about mindfulness and figure out how to implement it more regularly in your life, finding a book that explains different aspects could be extremely helpful. Also, worthwhile, as research shows that mindfulness can help improve our immunity response1 and reduce cell aging. With a little help from top experts, you may just find new ways to make the most of each day.

Here, the best mindfulness book options on the market.
