This volume brings together 20 essays on the relationship between mindfulness and positive psychology. They address positive psychology interventions that use mindfulness, including
mindfulness-based strengths practice, compassion and self-compassion interventions, mindful parenting, mindfulness interventions in sports, and mindful eating programs; the theory, components,
and mechanisms of mindfulness, including well-being and happiness, attention, intention, attitude, flow, hope, meaning, and gratitude, as well as how encounters with mortality can generate
mindfulness; the role of mindfulness and positive psychology in relation to nursing, doctors, those working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and in the
healthcare workplace; mindfulness and positive psychology in the context of spirituality, particularly Buddhism; and therapeutic aspects, including person-centered therapy and depression.
