Mindfulness for Beginners : Reclaiming the Present Moment—and Your Life

Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment—and Your Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn is an accessible introduction to mindfulness, inviting readers to develop a deeper awareness of the present moment and transform the way they think, feel, work, love and live.

Featuring a QR code for five guided mindfulness meditations, this practical book offers reflections and exercises that can be explored at random, read from beginning to end or followed as a simple lesson-a-day introduction to mindfulness practice.

About This Book

Mindfulness for Beginners presents the essential attitudes and practices of mindfulness in an approachable and practical format. Jon Kabat-Zinn encourages readers to discover a greater sense of wholeness by learning to pay attention to their experiences with greater awareness and presence.

Rather than being limited to a formal meditation practice, mindfulness can influence everyday experiences—including the way we think, feel, work, love and play. The book offers practical ways to bring greater awareness into daily life and develop a more conscious relationship with the present moment.

The book can be used in three different ways: as a collection of reflections and practices to explore at random, as a start-to-finish read, or as a lesson-a-day primer for developing a mindfulness practice.
