The Mindful Twenty-Something: Life Skills to Handle Stress…and Everything Else Paperback – December 1, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
In The Mindful Twenty-Something, the cofounder of the extremely popular Koru Mindfulness program developed at Duke University presents a unique, evidence-based approach to help you make important life decisions with clarity and confidence.
As a twenty-something, you may feel like you are being pulled in dozen different directions. With the daily tumult, busyness, and major life changes you experience as a young adult, you may also be particularly vulnerable to stress and its negative effects. Emerging adulthood, which occurs between the ages of 18 and 29, is a developmental stage of life when you’re faced with important decisions about school, relationships, sex, your career, and more. With so much going on, you need a guide to help you navigate with less stress and more ease.
The Koru Mindfulness program, developed at Duke University and already in use on numerous college campuses—including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Dartmouth, and several others—and in treatment centers across the country, is the only evidence-based mindfulness training program for young adults that has been empirically proven to have significant benefits for sleep, perceived stress, and self-compassion. Now, with The Mindful Twenty-Something, this popular program is accessible to all young adults struggling with stress.
With Koru Mindfulness and the practical tools you’ll learn from this acceptance-based, proven-effective approach, you’ll be able to cultivate the compassion and mindfulness skills you need to manage life’s challenges from a calm, balanced center, regardless of what comes your way.

Editorial Reviews
Review
—Jason Jones, PhD, Contemplative Sciences Center, University of Virginia
“Based in ancient contemplative wisdom, modern science, and Holly Rogers’ extensive experience working with college students and young adults, this book is an excellent resource for a person of ‘any-something’ age who wishes to begin or learn more about practicing mindfulness.”
—Jeff Brantley, MD, assistant consulting professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center; founding faculty member of Duke Integrative Medicine, and founder and director of its Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program; and author of Calming Your Angry Mind
“Mystified by meditation? Engaging, accessible, and down to earth, The Mindful Twenty-Something has everything you need to start meditating and more.”
—Sumi Loundon Kim, Buddhist chaplain at Duke University
“Easy to read and immensely practical, The Mindful Twenty-Something is a 21st century book, grounded in ancient ways of practice. In it, Holly Rogers’ professional experience and her love of mindful practice come together in a way that will be of great benefit to many.”
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
“In The Mindful Twenty-Something, Holly invites young people to explore mindfulness and meditation with a curious and open mind. With warmth and a clear, direct tone, she speaks candidly about the precious and fleeting nature of our lives, advocating that mindfulness and meditation are the path to fully engaging with the present moment. Allowing for skepticism and doubt, this book helps bridge the gap between understanding mindfulness and developing a regular meditation practice.”
—Jeanne Mahon, MEd, director of the Center for Wellness at Harvard University
“Having just shepherded two daughters through their twenties, I can say with confidence that it is not an easy time these days, and the statistics on mental health challenges for that age group bear that out. Holly Rogers not only knows plenty of people trying to start out their lives during that difficult stage, but she cares deeply about what they need. In this book, she offers insights and practical tools that will shape the present and the future of many young people.”
—Barry Boyce, editor in chief at Mindful magazine and mindful.org
“Holly Rogers has written a unique introduction to becoming mindful, deeply grounded in her own experience. She has both practiced herself for years and taught students at Duke, and the book reflects both. Wise, but not obscure. Practical, but lighthearted and inspiring.”
—Mirabai Bush, meditation and mindfulness teacher, cofounder and senior fellow of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, and coauthor of Contemplative Practices in Higher Education

The practice of meditation is not meant for everyone, but for some it will be. The principles and techniques of Mindfulness in this book are like water in a desert for a thirsty soul quenching to be a better person in all aspects of life.
I wish this book could be a course not only in college, but in all schools, especially in the formative years of middle and high school.
The layout in this book was like eating a delicious meal. Enjoy the book and pass it on.
It was a quick easy read, which was nice with my other work I had to do. I found the messages resonated with me, and being very helpful. The book goes very well with the app, but has everything in it one needs for an introduction to mindfulness.
The author gears the book for Twenty-Something year olds. I think its lessons can be used and applicable to other folks in other stages of life. It is a really handy book, and I'd definitely recommend it to others (I already have!).
