Review
The ceaselessly creative Donald Altman, in his never-ending quest to make mindfulness practice accessible to anyone motivated to learn it, has once again broached new ground in elaborating simple useful techniques for applying mindfulness in everyday life. The Mindfulness Toolbox is a veritable wonderland of user-friendly implements of mindfulness practice, all laid out to maximize a new (and maybe not-so-new) practitioner’s ability to effectively use applied mindfulness. The Mindfulness Toolbox will be a tremendous aid and benefit to all people who practice and teach mindfulness. –Jeffrey M. Schwartz, MD, author of Brain Lock and You Are Not Your Brain
This is a must-have book for every therapist using mindfulness approaches with clients. From the 10 ‘Tips’ thru the 40 ‘Tools’, Donald Altman shares his considerable wisdom, along with a sense of respect for both the client — and the therapist. At the same time, the material is presented in a light and very usable style, from the clear outlines to the many client handouts. –Jean L. Kristeller, Ph.D., research and clinical psychologist, and developer of Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT)
In an era of high popularity for anything labeled with the word "Mindfulness", Altman has written a user-friendly and practical book that is as fun to read as it is helpful. He provides great handouts and suggestions for how to describe mindfulness to clients so that they can gain peace of mind when feeling anxious and optimism in the face of depression. Highly recommended. –John B. Arden, PhD, author of The Brain Bible

The Mindfulness Toolbox is an excellent resource for therapists and clients! The beauty of Altman’s work is he translates mindfulness into achievable,realistic tools with creative language and engaging metaphors The exercises are well crafted and designed to help a person sort through their problems by focusing on one’s strengths. This user friendly book also has an excellent reference section for further reading and an easy to use index to help locate information in the book.
What I find so engaging about Donald Altman’s mindfulness books, culminating with The Mindfulness Toolbox, is that he takes an evidence-based approach utilizing the most cutting-edge science discoveries, and creates practical applications anyone can master to improve their daily experience of life. This book may seem at first like it was designed only for the use of therapists in treating their clients. Read more carefully, however, and you will learn, as I did, how the mindful tools are intended and written in accessible language for any of us laymen to absorb and master. A must read for those of us wanting all of the benefits a mindful approach has to offer!
I am a therapist who has used found some of the activities and concepts in this book useful with some of my clients. The book is divided into sections for anxiety, depression, stress and pain which helps me to find the pertinent pages quickly. The author has also given permission to photo copy, so I have used some pages as homework. I plan to get good use out of the book.
