    Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
    At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
    The origins of MBCT trace back to the pioneering work of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, these researchers sought to adapt mindfulness techniques specifically for individuals prone to recurrent episodes of depression. Over time, MBCT has demonstrated significant benefits not only in preventing depression relapse but also in treating anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders.

    On December 4th, 1872, a 100-foot brigantine was discovered drifting through the North Atlantic without a soul on board. Not a sign of struggle, not a shred of damage, no ransacked cargo—and not a trace of the captain, his wife and daughter, or the crew. What happened on board the ghost ship Mary Celeste has baffled and tantalized the world for 130 years. Brian Hicks plumbs the depths of this fabled nautical mystery and uncovers the truth. 
     
     
     
    The Mary Celeste was cursed as soon as she was launched on the Bay of Fundy in 1861. Her first captain died before completing the maiden voyage. In London she accidentally rammed and sank an English brig. Later she was abandoned after a storm drove her ashore at Cape Breton. But somehow the ship was recovered and refitted, and in 1872 she fell to the reluctant command of a seasoned mariner named Benjamin Spooner Briggs. It was Briggs who was at the helm when the Mary Celeste sailed into history. 
     
     
     
    The story of the Mary Celeste becomes the quintessential tale of men lost at sea. Hicks vividly recreates the events leading up to the crew's disappearance and then unfolds the complicated and bizarre aftermath. Brian Hicks reveals the truth is actually grounded in the combined tragedies of human error and bad luck.
