Oh, and you asked the above poster for some books on mindfulness. Thought I'd chime if it's okay. I loved "The Power of Now" by Eckart Tolle. I have the audio version on my ipod and I've probably listened to it 50 times...no joke. Everytime I hear it I get something different out of it. I also like When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer is another favorite. It's very simply written...he gets straight to the point if you like that kind of no-nonsense approach.
Best of luck to you.
