A holistic system for gaining and maintaining the stability of mind needed for personal and social transformation, even in the midst of trauma—with simple, body-based exercises grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness, inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh
With three decades working in marginalized communities in the US, Israel, and the West Bank, mindfulness teacher and psychotherapist Jo-ann Rosen offers a wealth of wisdom and gentle humor in supporting people to access their inner strength and stability—even amidst outer chaos and catastrophe. Rosen draws on the example and practices of her teacher, the peace activist and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, who founded Plum Village mindfulness practice centers worldwide as places of healing and restoration, to show how meditation can aid collective awakening.
    Time and time again, even in places where trauma is commonplace, Rosen has seen that a regulated nervous system allows an individual to move from overwhelm and despair to stability and engagement. The Plum Village approach to well-being cultivates resilience while recognizing the unique social and ecological challenges of our times. 
    In Unshakeable, Rosen shares the methods by which we can broaden our resiliency, calm our nerves, and positively impact the collective consciousness. By following the practices in this book, we can find an unshakeable source of strength within, not only as individuals, but also as members of strong communities for positive change.

      With mental illness on the rise among young people, many parents are looking for practical ways to help their children. Mindfulness educator Landman explains how, drawing on her background as a practitioner of Buddhism. She also taps into her own experiences as the parent of a young adult diagnosed with clinical depression, who considered dying by suicide. She shares a story about her other child, who endured a physical injury, and briefly acknowledges how racial aggressions can cause further stress and trauma for parents of color. Landman learned firsthand that parents must strive for balance in their lives. She advocates for parents to develop self-trust, practice mindfulness, allow feelings, and focus on self-care in order to best meet their children's needs. Each chapter concludes with exercises, which are also available in an audio format on the author's website so readers can listen and meditate concurrently. VERDICT An appealing title for the growing population of parents interested in a mindful approach to help their children (and themselves) attain optimum mental health.
