International mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn distills years of practicing and teaching mindfulness in this accessible guide for beginners. Among the essential attitudes and practices covered in the book are the importance of staying connected with the body and the senses; how thoughts self-liberate when touched by awareness; going beyond the individual’s story and connecting with direct experience; stabilizing awareness and presence amid daily activities; and the three fundamental mental factors that can provoke suffering. This book, and the accompanying audio CD, which includes five guided meditations, shows readers how directing their awareness time and again to what is happening in the moment can lead to a more clear, reliable, and loving connection with themselves and the world.
