Discover the Power of Meditation

We all have preconceived notions about what meditation is and who practices meditation.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is a pioneer of mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, and he brilliantly shares his wisdom in this essential book on meditation.

Even if you know what meditation is, forming your own practice might feel daunting.

Mindfulness sounds like a simple way to live in the moment and enjoy each experience in one’s life, but as I mentioned before, practicing mindfulness isn’t always so easy. In Wherever You Go, There You Are, Jon Kabat–Zinn—innovator, educator, and expert on mindfulness and meditation—teaches the ins and outs of mindfulness and how everyone can benefit from it. Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness and meditative practices as “non-doing,” the ability to let things happen in their own way, in their own time. Everyone can live in the present moment and add richness to their daily lives, and Wherever You Go, There You Are can help you get there.
