Living Mindfully Across the Lifespan: An Intergenerational Guide provides user-friendly, empirically-supported information about and answers to some of the most frequently encountered questions and dilemmas of human living, interactions, and emotions. 'Too often "self-help" books are not interesting and enjoyable to read. This guide by Kim and Morgan Penberthy is just the opposite! Of greater importance, the context and examples are extremely relevant and useful; the advice comes straight from science - not their armchair opinions. This is a must read for people of all ages - it can change your life!' - Arthur M Nezu, PhD, DHL, ABPP, distinguished university professor of Psychology, and Christine Maguth Nezu, PhD, ABPP, professor of Psychology, both at Drexel University 'It would be amazing if this mother-daughter handbook for navigating life was assigned to everyone, kind of like a driver's license or a mammogram. From adolescence to middle age, I can imagine people everywhere savoring each chapter of this book in planes, in cozy armchairs, in amazing intergenerational book clubs- and what healing and empowerment will ripple out from those who do. It's full of wisdom, straight talk, and tools you can use today to create a more compassionate and thriving life- inside and out.' - Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., psychologist, senior fellow, Institute of Noetic Sciences; executive director, John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation 'An insightful and wise guide to mindfully navigating every season of life with clarity, compassion and grace.
