I wasn't impressed by the rigour of this book, as there were no citations that I could see. I found the cover a bit deceptive, as knitting is only mentioned very briefly but colouring in, the author's main jam, makes up the bulk of the book.

Maybe a 2.5
This book was really more about how regulating your work life than about using hobbies to practice mindfulness.
I did skim and skip some of the more science focused bits, but I expected more information about how to use your current hobbies in relation to mindfulness.
Highly recommend if you want information on how the brain works and how mindfulness improves your life, but don't go in expecting lots of info about using hobbies to do that

It was interesting enough, but the book doesn't really focus on mindfulness as a whole, more mindfulness activities - particularly colouring. The explanations of mind-body-connection was interesting, especially when learning about the (potential) harm stress can have on the body.
If you would like to have a better understanding of mindfulness, this book is something you could give a chance.
