About this listen

 What if you could profoundly change your life just by becoming more mindful of your breathing? According to Jon Kabat-Zinn, you can. What if "paying attention on purpose and non-judgmentally" could improve your health? Again, according to Dr. Kabat-Zinn, it can.

In Mindfulness for Beginners, this internationally known scientist, best-selling author, and teacher who brought mindfulness meditation into the mainstream of medicine and society gives you immediate access to a practice that can potentially add years to your life, and will certainly enhance the quality of your moments and your years. Join Dr. Kabat-Zinn to:

  • Explore five guided meditations that lead you breath by breath into the essence of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a program offered in medical clinics and hospitals around the world
  • Cultivate the Seven Key Attitudinal Factors of MBSR, qualities of heart and mind that lay the foundation for mindfulness practice and for seeing and accepting things as they are as a first step to working wisely and compassionately with stress, pain, illness, and sorrow as well as life's joys and pleasures, Zorba's "full catastrophe"
  • Free yourself from limiting perspectives, and become more intimate with your own boundless awareness

    "You're already in the perfect moment for inhabiting this liberating awareness, which is always available," teaches Jon Kabat-Zinn. With Mindfulness for Beginners, he invites you to cultivate mindfulness as if your life depended on it, which it surely does, and experience the magnitude and beauty of who you already are.

    Actually, this is the first audio book I completed on one sitting. Convincing and persuasive. Gentle rendering.. Would have been better if the practical part was given as a separate chapter..

    One of the best mindfulness.

    This short audio book is a beautiful introduction to mindfulness.

    It has 3 guided sessions. The voice of the author is soothing and takes us gradually to a meditative mindset.

    Though forwarded as a book for beginners, the author himself tells that this is not for beginners as it is a tough one. Having read many books on this topic, I found nothing new in this book. Surely some old precepts did get reinforced but that's it. Nothing more! Jon Kabat-Zinn needs to understand that he may be a great in his subject but narrating an audiobook and discussing things in a private audience including teaching sessions are completely different matters. He utterly fails a a narrator and that turns out to be a big drawback of the book. Oh how I wish I should not have selected this book at all.

    Absolutely Avoidable
