Présentation de l'éditeur

Looking for the latest research and practices on character strengths and mindfulness? Curious about how character strengths can supercharge your mindfulness practice? Or how mindfulness can help you deploy your best qualities? Look no further – the answers are in this book!


At the core of this hands-on resource for psychologists and other practitioners, including educators, coaches, and consultants, is Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP), the first structured program to combine mindfulness with the character strengths laid out in the VIA Institute's classification developed by Drs. Martin E. P. Seligman and Christopher Peterson. This 8-session program systematically boosts awareness and application of character strengths – and so helps people flourish and lead more fulfilling lives.


The author's vast experience working with both mindfulness and character strengths is revealed in his sensitive and clear presentation of the conceptual, practical, and scientific elements of this unique combined approach. It is not only those who are new to mindfulness or to character strengths who will appreciate the detailed primers on these topics in the first section of the book. And the deep discussions about the integration of mindfulness and character strengths in the second section will benefit not just intermediate and advanced practitioners. The third section then leads readers step-by-step through each of the 8 MBSP sessions, including details of session structure and content, suggested homework, 30 practical handouts (provided as printable PDF files available to download), as well as inspiring quotes and stories and useful practitioner tips. An additional chapter discusses the adaption of MBSP to different settings and populations (e.g., business, education, individuals, couples). The mindfulness and character strengths meditations that accompany the book (as MP3 files available to download) support growth and development.


This highly accessible book, while primarily conceived for psychologists, educators, coaches, and consultants, is suitable for anyone who is interested in living a flourishing life.

    Unique, mind-bending, and sparkling with spiritual awareness, Niemiec's book carves new pathways to happiness, fulfillment and success. His masterful juxtaposing mindfulness and strengths is pure genius.

    The soothing yet powerful meditation CD tucked in the back of this meaty mindfulness/strengths book is worth the price of his book! Talk about value added. I enjoyed them so much, I listened to all 8 meditations twice. Niemiec's warm, relaxing, and genuinely kind voice invites you to sit a spell. His humanism rings true. He is the real deal.

    I loved the Character Strengths Q and A and the Website Resources pages at the end of the book. I xeroxed them. There is enough information there to develop tons of presentations or workshops.

    This book is for you if you are interested in pragmatic ways to use your own character strengths to make a positive difference in the world. It explores ways that character strengths can be used in mindfulness practices, and it demonstrates ways that mindfulness helps us enhance and appreciate character strengths, both in ourselves and the people around us.

    The first half of the book is educational and explanatory. Chapters 1 and 2 are primers on mindfulness and character strengths. Thus there is no assumption that readers know the topics before they pick up the book. Chapters 3 through 5 show how the two topics can be integrated, each enhancing the other. Finally, chapter 6 describes Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP), a group process for formal training in character strengths and mindfulness. All 6 chapters contain practice tips concerning ways to use the information effectively.

    The second half of the book contains detailed instructions for conducting an 8-session Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP) workshop series. Chapters 7 through 14 each describe one session, including the structure, opening meditation, exercises, teaching points, group discussions, suggested homework, and closing meditation. Each chapter comes with worksheets that the purchaser of the book is free to copy for personal or professional use.

    Attached to the back cover of the book is a disk containing 1 hour and 20 minutes of meditations and exercises "designed to support you on your journey as you practice mindfulness and as you work with those qualities that are best in you, your character strengths."

    This is a book for practitioners preparing for strengths-based events, who will find it an invaluable collection of materials, practical advice, and specific activities to help a group of people become more mindful in general, more mindful of their own strengths and those of the people around them, and more accomplished in the application of their strengths in everyday life.

    Individuals with no urge to teach will also find many ideas, activities, and meditations in this book that they can use to guide a personal practice.
