Richard Gilpin shares his ongoing journey with his “black dog” shedding light on this often misunderstood subject—and explores how the art and practice of mindfulness can help to train and mind that faithful companion. The book also includes short contributions from internationally recognized experts in the field of mindfulness. Though we may feel as though we have to win an invisible fight against our own black dogs, Richard Gilpin shows that compassion, acceptance, and mindful meditation can go a long way to helping us understand our feelings and cope better in our darkest days.
