"A classic book for understanding the simple, practical, and beautifully liberating spiritual idea of *being* in the moment, and being content with wherever you are, because ultimately, that was where you were meant to be. KZ, a Buddhist, teachers the art of meditation to awaken this awareness."
"One of the best books I have read about meditation and living in the present moment. I read this many years ago, and the concepts discussed are still very relevant to me (and easily remembered) today. In fact, I think I will read this one again soon, as I embark on meditating more and being more content with my life."
"i have had this book for over 10 years and it just set on my shelf collecting dust... what a mistake! a wonderful book about how to be more mindful in your life. i don't meditate, but it makes realize how i can find every day moments of meditation in the flow of my daily life. great book to read under a tree so you can pause, reflect and watch the leaves blow."
"This is supposed to be a practical guide to meditation. It was recommended to me by someone who knew how I feel about the mysticism that surrounds yoga and meditation. Imagine my dismay when I encountered guidelines like "If we can take a stand here, and let go into the full texture of now, we may find that this very moment is worth of our trust." What? How can you trust or not trust a moment?
"In the stillness of formal practice, we do turn our energies inward, only to discover that we contain the entire world in our own mind and body." Oh so this is how I meditate? I just direct my energies inward and realize I contain the universe?
The book is jam-packed with circular sentences like these, and very few nuggets of practical advice. I imagine it's because the practical advice that is there would be a much smaller book, and Jon Kabat-Zinn has bills to pay."
