The Mindfulness Puzzle Book: Relaxing Puzzles to De-stress and Unwind (Mindfulness Puzzle Books) Paperback – 18 Aug. 2016

Lovely book with an array of different types of challenges. I like that they are possible to solve for the average person. Takes me for ever mind. I play music in the background found doing these lifted my mood.

This book hits the right balance between challenging and relaxing. I enjoy puzzles and find them an absorbing way to unwind. This has a great selection including mazes, spot the difference, colouring, crosswords and more. The paper is very good quality, so if colouring, the ink doesn’t leach through. Highly recommended.

I want to start by saying I have severe cognitive impairment due to chronic illness so I still find some of the activities quite challenging. But I thought it would be nice to be able to work my brain without being reminded of how bad my brain is. For me it is not that relaxing but it's a nice thing to keep me occupied for a short time. I like that there's such a big variety, for example word puzzles, number puzzles, mazes, colouring pages and logic puzzles. I try all of them but I don't feel bad about leaving the ones I can't do because the book isn't linear and I don't have to complete a puzzle to move onto the next. The paper is standard book paper, I've been using a pencil but a ballpoint pen would probably be okay too. I want to be able to rub out my mistakes and start over. The solutions are in the back, I'm glad these were included as it still works my brain a bit to read them and see how they got the correct answer. I find some instructions are a bit confusing and vague, but I can usually figure it out in the end. The only downside with the word puzzles in particular is that some very unusual words are used that I've never actually heard of, so I would never have been able to figure out those answers which is quite frustrating. I enjoy this book but it can be frustrating at times. I think it's hard to make a puzzle book suitable for everyone and it's clear the author put a lot of effort into making this book as good as it can be

I like going abroad but have anxiety on planes in the past. This book really occupied my mind and I almost forgot I was on a flight for over three hours! I really recommend this for fellow nervous flyers !

Given as present.

Bought as a gift. Ok, although a lot of the puzzles seem very easy. Presume that if harder then may be not very relaxing! Good variety though. Not sure if the recipient will enjoy. I would probably be a bit disappointed if I had bought this for myself! That said, the quality of the actual book (cover, pages etc.) itself is excellent.

Saviour during times of anxiety and burnout. A simple thing like doing a puzzle just to take the mind away to less complicated and less stressful things.Daughter has actually started stealing it every now and again to do some!

Bought for my daughter in law who loves doing puzzles. Quite a small book, but looks like a lot of fun a very nicely printed on quality paper.
