Best Mindfulness Meditation Exercises Books

Mindfulness (Pali: sati, Sanskrit: smṛti) plays a central role in the teaching of Buddhist meditation where it is affirmed that "correct" or "right" mindfulness (Pali: sammā-sati, Sanskrit samyak-smṛti) is the critical factor in the path to liberation and subsequent enlightenment / Nirvana. 

If you want to practice mindfulness, what you really need is not theory, but practice. These books are specifically written to help you do just that: exercise in mindfulness. These are all books by psychologists who have stripped the exercise of mindfulness of it's Buddhist trappings and distilled the essence that can help you change your life, whatever your beliefs or other spiritual practices.
