A member asked:

Can you tell me any good books or websites for meditation for depression/anxiety/inner peace?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Relaxation response: There is a lot of research going on about mindfulness meditation. Jon kabat-zinn is an excellent author in this area, as is joan borysenko. The relaxation response book by herbert benson is an oldie but goodie, and very simple. Have fun!
