Publisher Description
Find quiet reflective moments in your life—and reduce your stress levels drastically—with this classic bestselling guide updated and featuring a new introduction and afterword.
When Wherever You Go, There You Are was first published in 1994, no one could have predicted that the book would launch itself onto bestseller lists nationwide and sell over 1 million copies to date. Thirty years later, Wherever You Go, There You Are remains a foundational guide to mindfulness and meditation, introducing readers to the practice and guiding them through the process. The author of over half a dozen books on mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn combines his research and medical background with his spiritual knowledge to help readers find peace and change their lives.
In this new edition, readers will find a new introduction and afterword from Kabat-Zinn, as well as factual updates throughout to address changes in research and knowledge since it was originally published. After the special tumult of the last few years, as well as the promise of more unrest in the future, Wherever You Go, There You Are serves as an anchor for a whole new generation of readers looking to find their center and achieve their true self.
Customer Reviews
Accessible, relatable, personable and compassionate.
Easily one of the best books on meditation and the mindfulness journey that I’ve read to date. The author has a relatable voice that allows the reader to find their path in meditation on their terms. He doesn’t talk down to the reader. Quite the contrary, he invites the reader to explore what is possible in their own lives. This could be an hour, 20 minutes, 5 minutes. This could be morning, afternoon, evening. This could be sitting, walking or rocking a baby. Meditation comes in all forms so long as the intention and practice are genuine. I truly appreciate how pragmatic and practical “Wherever you are…” is. Each chapter covers a new perspective on meditation and ends with an exercise to try in order to put the theoretical into practice. I will be revisiting this book over the years as my own journey with meditation continues.
