"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
"Mystified by meditation? Engaging, accessible, and down to earth,
The Mindful Twenty-Something has everything you need to
start meditating and more."
--Sumi Loundon Kim, Buddhist chaplain at Duke University
"In The Mindful Twenty-Something, Holly invites young people
to explore mindfulness and meditation with a curious and open mind.
With warmth and a clear, direct tone, she speaks candidly about the
precious and fleeting nature of our lives, advocating that
mindfulness and meditation are the path to fully engaging with the
present moment. Allowing for skepticism and doubt, this book helps
bridge the gap between understanding mindfulness and developing a
regular meditation practice."
--Jeanne Mahon, MEd, director of the Center for Wellness at
Harvard University
"Holly Rogers has written a unique introduction to becoming
mindful, deeply grounded in her own experience. She has both
practiced herself for years and taught students at Duke, and the
book reflects both. Wise, but not obscure. Practical, but
lighthearted and inspiring."
--Mirabai Bush, meditation and mindfulness teacher,
cofounder and senior fellow of the Center for Contemplative Mind in
Society, and coauthor of Contemplative Practices in Higher
Education
"Easy to read and immensely practical, The Mindful
Twenty-Something is a 21st century book, grounded in ancient
ways of practice. In it, Holly Rogers' professional experience and
her love of mindful practice come together in a way that will be of
great benefit to many."
--Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and
Real Happiness
"Having just shepherded two daughters through their twenties, I can
say with confidence that it is not an easy time these days, and the
statistics on mental health challenges for that age group bear that
out. Holly Rogers not only knows plenty of people trying to start
out their lives during that difficult stage, but she cares deeply
about what they need. In this book, she offers insights and
practical tools that will shape the present and the future of many
young people."
--Barry Boyce, editor in chief at Mindful magazine
and mindful.org
