Product Description
Wherever You Go You Always
Amazon.com Review
In his follow-up to Full Catastrophe Living--a book in which he presented basic meditation techniques as a way of reducing stress and healing from illness--here Jon Kabat-Zinn goes much more deeply into the practice of meditation for its own sake. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of "mindfulness," a condition of "being" rather than "doing" during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. In brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different meditative practices and what they can do for the practitioner. The idea that meditation is "spiritual" is often confusing to people, Kabat-Zinn writes; he prefers to think of it as what you might call a workout for your consciousness. This book makes learning meditation remarkably easy (although practicing it is not). But it also makes it seem infinitely appealing. --Ben Kallen

 Kabat rocks March 8, 2010
Jerry Mathews
This book helped get me on my own track through a different perspective of mindfulness.
Good book on the application of mindfulness March 3, 2010
Peter Strong (Boulder, CO, USA)
Learning to be present is a skill that we can all stand to learn and develop. This is a ask that Jon has taken to heart and describes so well in his books. Being fully present in the moment allows us to experience the full richness of life as well as creating a more compassionate space in which suffering can heal and transform. A great read. If you would like to read more about the theory and practice of mindfulness, I recommend the following:

Jon Kabat-Zinn does a fine job in presenting an introduction to Buddhist meditation. February 12, 2010
Blaine Greenfield (Belle Meade, NJ)
Liked WHEREVER YOU GO THERE YOU ARE: MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
IN EVERYDAY LIFE, written and read by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
The author, founder and director of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University
of Massachusetts Medical Center, does a fine job in presenting an introduction
to Buddhist meditation . . . the key is to practice "mindfulness," a more than
2000-year-olld method of living fully in the present while observing ourselves,
our feelings, others and our surroundings without judging them.
WHEREVER YOU GO is broken down into three parts. The first explores the
reasons why you should take or or deepen a personal practice of meditation. Part
two explores some of the basic aspects of any mediation practice. And part three
explores various applications and perspectives on the concept of mindfulness.
I liked the fact that the book wasn't full of jargon, and that it was easy to both
understand and apply . . . I also liked Kabat-Zinn's amusing stories of how
mindfulness could be applied to everyday life, including "Cleaning the Stove
While Listening to Bobby MdFerrin," "Cat Food Lessons" and the two chapters
on parenting as a form of meditation (and how he called children "live-in
Zen masters").
Although I don't presently meditate on any sort of regular basis, the author
has gotten me to revisit that practice.
 I HATE.. January 31, 2010

that this book is on the sale rack at my local B&N - it's far too good for that - highly suggest you get it - a new book that floors me in a different way: Live Like A Fruit Fly - also on amazon
