With the daily tumult, busyness, and major life changes you experience as a young adult, you may also be particularly vulnerable to stress and its negative effects.

With so much going on, you need a guide to help you navigate with less stress and more ease.

Reviews
"Given the current state of higher education today, to call The Mindful Twenty-Something timely is an understatement. The conversational tone offers an approachable presentation of mindfulness appropriate for many of the complexities that modern undergraduate and graduate students face. The simple practices outlined in this book ensure both the accessibility and applicability of mindfulness and will undoubtedly be a valuable resource not only for students but those working with contemplation in higher education."—Jason Jones, PhD, Contemplative Sciences Center, University of Virginia
"Based in ancient contemplative wisdom, modern science, and Holly Rogers' extensive experience working with college students and young adults, this book is an excellent resource for a person of 'any-something' age who wishes to begin or learn more about practicing mindfulness." —Jeff Brantley, MD, assistant consulting professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center; founding faculty member of Duke Integrative Medicine, and founder and director of its Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program; and author of Calming Your Angry Mind
