Book Reviews of Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life

Book Review: A gentle, secular guide to Being Here Now
Summary: 5 Stars

If you have ever wondered about meditaion and its possible benefits to your hectic life, but have been put off by its mystical, religious or paranormal associations in the popular culture, author Jon Kabat-Zin offers a gentle, secular introduction to the art of Being Here Now. "Now" is the present moment in which, with mindfulness, we can act with volition and not automaticity; to not simply react robotically, but break the cause-and-effect chain of external and internal stimuli. "Now" is where we can become authentically ourselves, and marshal our full potential. But focusing in the "Now", being aware without reacting, without abstractly analyzing, takes practice. Kabat-Zin shows us how to find our "Now" in the sensation of our breathing, either during meditation practice or in a mindful pause just before a meal. Then he shows us how to carry mindfulnes into the activity of our daily lives, so that we may find ourselves naturally proceding along "The Way". Throughout, Kabat-Zin's narrative and personal references are totally credible, evoking a surprisingly accessible intimacy with the reader. You will enjoy and benefit from this book even if you never sit on a pillow to meditate, but you will gain even more if you do.
