Coming Back to Here

Coming Back to Here is a practical guide to mindfulness for real life, not retreats, not perfection, and not escaping your responsibilities.

Written by psychologist Peter J. Favaro, Ph.D., this book helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and reactions work together, and how to create space between feeling and reacting so you can respond with clarity instead of impulse. Through simple insights and everyday examples, you will learn how to manage stress, quiet mental noise, stay centered around difficult people, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of a busy, demanding world.

This book is about learning how to come back to the present moment again and again, even when life feels overwhelming. Mindfulness here is not a technique you practice once a day. It is a habit you carry into conversations, decisions, conflicts, and ordinary moments.

If you want a grounded, realistic approach to mindfulness that fits into everyday life, this book shows you how to find your way back to here.
