Wherever you go, there you are : mindfulness meditation in everyday life / Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Kabat-Zinn, Jon, (author.).

Summary:

"When 'Wherever You Go, There You Are' was first published in 1994, no one could have predicted that the book would launch itself onto bestseller lists and sell over 1 million copies to date. Today, it has become a classic that continues to change lives far and wide, mapping out both the rationale and a simple path for cultivating mindfulness one's own way in one's own life. It speaks both to those coming to meditation for the first time and to longtime practitioners, and to anyone who cares deeply about experiencing life-and consciousness itself-to the fullest."--Back cover.
