Item Description

From the person who started it all: A signed set of Jon Kabat-Zinn's groundbreaking books: Full Catastrophe Living; Wherever You Go, There You Are; Coming to Our Senses; and Everyday Blessings.

Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness is a practical, step-by-step guide to mindfulness meditation. It is based on the eight-week program of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, which over sixteen thousand medical patients have successfully completed in the past 25 years. This book describes a self-guided training program in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to develop relaxation, calmness, and self-awareness, a reliable foundation for facing the "full catastrophe" of stress, pain, and illness - indeed, of life itself.

Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life maps out a simple path for cultivating mindfulness in one's own life. It speaks both to those coming to meditation for the first time, and to longtime practitioners, anyone who cares deeply about reclaiming the richness of his or her moments.

Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness details the transformative power of mindfulness in our personal lives and in our lives as individuals embedded in the larger world. Dr. Kabat-Zinn describes how, through paying attention, by both literally and metaphorically coming to our senses, we can live our lives much more as if they really mattered and realize the full extent our potential as human beings in ways both little and big.

And Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting by Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn shows with great simplicity and practicality how parents can enrich their lives and the lives of their children through mindful parenting - the bringing of moment-to-moment, non-judging awareness into every aspect of life and parenting.

The Shambhala Sun Foundation is very grateful to Jon Kabat-Zinn for providing these signed volumes in support of our continuing mindful living initiatives. Follow this link for a feature article on the author in the Shambhala Sun's March 2010 issue, A Guide to Mindful Living.
