La mindfulness è per tutti

I’ve never read a spiritual book, which touched upon politics. It’s a bit unsettling. I understand the author trying to convey his message, but there are other ways to do it. The premise of the book is very true that mindfulness is very important and should be an integral part of our lives. But most Leggi tutto

Great ending to the book and perspective given about your being. The karma meets Dharma was interesting and connection to the universe. For me the start was hard to connect with and there were a lot of references to the other books (which I had not read) but I respect the author and there are some h Leggi tutto

Kabat-Zinn's 2019 book finds him in full prophetic thought leader mode, something he "trained" for in previous books. I've come to this one hoping for a practical, pragmatic update on the brand of everyday meditation that made him famous. There's not a modicum of practical advice or considerations in Leggi tutto

A disappointment of a book, poorly written (stream of consciousness style) and poorly edited (continents include North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America (see foreword) -- not only is Latam not a continent, it doesn't mention Oceania which is...)

This fourth book in the series on “Coming to Our Senses” continues the exploration bey Leggi tutto

"...No news of the affairs of men, Only the occasional song of the woodcutter..." pg 26. Each time I picked up this book in 2020 it had something relevant to current events. 2020 and even now in 2021 we are experiencing an exceptional time - this book is right for now. I especially liked the chapter Leggi tutto

This last volume of the series features Kabat-Zinn's more philosophical musings on humanity, civilization, politics, and our relationship to these things, both inner and outer. Almost more of an extended set of essays on the status of the human condition, the underlying premise is that our current s Leggi tutto

I love this book because of the fact that it takes mindfulness from an individual- and small-group orientation to the broader world. Mindfulness presents a range of opportunities to help all of us help each other and the planet. The book does have more of a political bent than I would prefer, even i Leggi tutto
