A adore JKZ. I needed this book! I was lucky to attend a workshop on "mindfulness and education" in which JKZ was one of the instructors, and this book was recommended reading, which is why I got it. I highly recommend it for its introduction to the importance of mindfulness, and for JKZ's views on things. I will try to elaborate later, as I found this book so meaningful to me that I am finding it hard to summarize.
Oh, and the book is good for the poetry alone -- he often puts a poem in between chapters, and some of them really struck me, both relevant and beautiful.
There was so much depth in this book, for me, that I hope/plan to re-read the entire thing again.
Compared with "Full Catastrophe Living" (by the same author), this one wasn't as seminal for me; however, the very brief, almost stream-of-consciousness chapters in this one allow the author to touch on a lot of topics linked with mindfulness, and helped reinforce the need for us to connect to what we are going through now, moment by moment and breath by breath, rather than fixating on the past or the future all the time or dwelling in a "virtual" reality. Some chapters were particularly great; others just so-so, but all in all it was a great mix of wisdom with occasional poetry thrown in, zen quotes and more. Sometimes it seemed too "granola" to me, but overall a worthwhile book. To really absorb the thoughts here, it takes a long to read the book (hard to skim). I really admire this author though.
Incredible! Brilliant! Beautiful! Reading for the 2nd time. You can pick this book up anytime, any page and learn to see the world in a very different way.
I have no idea what Jon Kabat-Zinn said in this abridged version of his book. Which is ironic. If I were to tackle it again, I would most certainly read the book rather than listen to it, as the words in the audio version flowed too much together to make sense of some of the intensive ideas Kabat-Zinn was presenting.
