Book Reviews of Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life
Book Review: Succinct but in depth
Summary: 5 Stars
I thank you, Jon Kabat Zinn, for writing this book. I have been practicing Yoga for 8 years and teaching it for 2. Mine is an ongoing quest to understand my self. I practice the 8 limbs of Yoga on the mat and off it.The Yoga Sutras and the works of other Yoga masters guide me daily. Yet there have been times when I have needed something more to bring presence into my daily life.
'Wherever You Go There You Are' has provided me with what I have been looking for. The works in this book help me see myself a little bit better, a little bit clearer. They provide direction on how to proceed when I feel stuck or confused. They also provide techniques and tools to overcome the bumps or challenges that I may be experiencing at any one moment.
So, thank you so much for this insightful piece of work. You are a true guru. Thank you.

Summary of Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life
Mindfulness is considered the heart of Buddhist meditation. But its essence is universal and of deep practical benefit to everyone. Wherever You Go, There You Are, Jon Kabat-Zinn maps out a simple path for cultivating mindfulness in our lives, and awakening us to the unique beauty and possibilities of each present moment. He shows us how this simple meditation technique can enable us to be truly in touch with where we already are, so that we can be fully aware at all times. Jon Kabat-Zinn explains: What 'mindfulness' is; How to achieve mindfulness using simple meditation techniques; How mindful meditation can enhance every aspect of your life; How to incorporate mindfulness into your everyday lifeIn his follow-up to Full Catastrophe Living--a book in which he presented basic meditation techniques as a way of reducing stress and healing from illness--here Jon Kabat-Zinn goes much more deeply into the practice of meditation for its own sake. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of "mindfulness," a condition of "being" rather than "doing" during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. In brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different meditative practices and what they can do for the practitioner. The idea that meditation is "spiritual" is often confusing to people, Kabat-Zinn writes; he prefers to think of it as what you might call a workout for your consciousness. This book makes learning meditation remarkably easy (although practicing it is not). But it also makes it seem infinitely appealing. --Ben Kallen
