“You’re already in the perfect moment for inhabiting this liberating awareness, which is always available,” teaches Jon Kabat-Zinn.

One of the best meditation CDs/ audio books
One of the best mindfulness meditation audio book / guided meditation CDs out there – and trust me I’ve listened to hundreds of them! This was a required book for my meditation teacher training and it was invaluable!!

Great start for a Middle aged Man!
This book contains a lot of useful information. It is presented well and even people rather unfamiliar with the concept will enjoy it. It is written in a clear simple format and entices the reader to look further.

Meh
Flatulent, pretentious and overly mystical. It goes on overexplaining simple things chapter after chapter, and says very little about what mindfulness is, or why is it good for you. It was a pain to chew through this book, and at the end, I learned nothing new. What I did, is that basically mindfulness is a Western simplification of Buddhist meditation, but in turn that’s an oversimplification of Indian Vaishnava teachings, which I’m familiar with. So it’s like re-learning an ancient philosophy through another ancient philosophy, in turn a modern, materialistic (“scientific”, as they like to put it) filter, through someone who has trouble explain simple things in simple terms. To be fair with the author, his main audience is American everyday people, who have zero connection to any spirituality, except maybe horoscopes in chick magazines. At the end I learned nothing about meditation techniques, just a quick rundown on the last few pages, summarized as “yea, you can do that too, bye.”

A Good Place To Start
If you are looking for yourself, this is a good place to start. I think that what the book is trying to say is, “If you are lost in the woods, and need help, stop moving around. You will be easier to find.” Life being a journey without maps can make it difficult enough to find yourself.

We all have our desires to achieve things to change things happening around us. However, this can put us in a doing mode where we completely forget to reconnect with ourselves. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn touches wonderfully on the subject of mindfulness. The book is excellent for beginners like me with each chapter touching on the concepts beautifully. Highly recommended!

Muy bueno como introducción al mindfulness
Kindle Customer –
The title suggests it as an absolute beginners book.But it actually makes more sense after getting some introduction from other soures.It is still a very good second book to read.I had my introduction from Dan Harris’s 10% Happier app.The introduction from Joseph Goldstein makes you understand the world of meditation really well.But after you get some idea, this book becomes an amazing read, particularly because you would have experienced everything Dr.Zinn mentions.And it would then certainly create enough motivation for sustainig practice. His experience really comes to play here because everything he says is quite accurate about how you would havefelt.
