Overview[edit]
Kabat-Zinn, a professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Massachusetts, offers his plan for improving mindfulness through meditation.[3] He talks of mindfulness as learning to pay attention moment by moment, intentionally and with curiosity and compassion.[4]
The book explains meditation as a scientifically established practice that can help reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and lead to improved awareness.
The exercises in the book can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time.[3]
This self help book is for those coming to meditation for the first time and to longtime practitioners, anyone who wants to achieve mindfulness.[1][5]
