This new book helps you de-stress ASAP.

When it comes to meditation, not all of us do chanting or incense. And with the new book, Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World, we don't have to. Oxford professor Mark Williams and co-author Danny Penman show how you can, in mere minutes, reduce stress, anxiety, irritability and depression, plus boost your immune system and improve your relationships. (The first exercise involves eating chocolate. Love that!)

Goldie Hawn is a fan of the method. "Peace can't be achieved in the outside world unless we have peace on the inside," she says. "Mark Williams and Danny Penman's book gives us that peace." Find serenity during everyday activities with these tips:

• Eating chocolate? Do this.
• Brushing your teeth? Do this.
• About to sit down? Do this.
