Duluth, MN – Whole Person Associates proudly announces the publication of Mindfulness for Emerging Adults<\/a><\/em>\u00a0by Donna Torney, MA, LMHC, RYT.<\/p>\n

Mindfulness for Emerging Adults <\/em>explores the task of becoming an adult in the twenty-first century. Advances in neuroscience underline the imperative to see mindfulness and other contemplative practices as indispensable life skills. These ancient and now rigorously researched practices are more important than ever in our age of accelerated change, media overload, and chronic busyness. The scientific community has now provided unrefuted evidence that these practices create positive change in the mind and body. By exploring and adopting mindfulness and other contemplative practices which the author calls Center Points, <\/em>emerging adults can forge a path to find authentic identity and healthy personal and community connections, creating a good life in the digital age.<\/p>\n

For the emerging adult (somewhere between 19 and 30) the mindfulness skills learned in this book will help take control of stress and manage difficult emotions. Donna leads the reader to become grounded in the present moment and experiencing more ease, contentment, and life satisfaction \u2013 a state that positive psychologists refer to as well-being. Throughout the book, highlighted sections entitled Voices of Emerging Adults <\/em>tell the stories of typical young adult struggles. These stories are a composite of tales Donna hears in her private therapy practice, with details changed to protect privacy. The most common themes are highlighted, such as finding intimacy in a digital world, managing debt, finding a fruitful and worthwhile career path, managing difficult emotions, and practicing self-care. Mindfulness for Emerging Adults<\/em> will inspire hope in young adults looking for the good life.<\/p>\n

This book is written for parents, teachers, counselors or other mentors of young adults as well as the emerging adults themselves.\u00a0 Highlighted sections entitled Thoughts for Mentors <\/em>will guide mentors to better relate to young adult challenges. By listening to the voices of modern young adults and comparing their stories to the timeless developmental challenges of past generations, readers will be able to build greater understanding of the perennial journey to adulthood.<\/p>\n

“Mindfulness for Emerging Adults is a must read that will capture your attention! This engaging guide is concise yet comprehensive, with intriguing and immediately applicable exercises. Donna Torney masterfully highlights how to weave the time tested, powerful, and evidence-based concepts of mindfulness into today’s rapidly changing, digitally-oriented world. She successfully translates sophisticated scientific constructs and contemplative practices into understandable terms and relevant tactics.”<\/div>\n
