Product Description
Wherever You Go You Always
Amazon.com Review
In his follow-up to Full Catastrophe Living--a book in which he presented basic meditation techniques as a way of reducing stress and healing from illness--here Jon Kabat-Zinn goes much more deeply into the practice of meditation for its own sake. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of "mindfulness," a condition of "being" rather than "doing" during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. In brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different meditative practices and what they can do for the practitioner. The idea that meditation is "spiritual" is often confusing to people, Kabat-Zinn writes; he prefers to think of it as what you might call a workout for your consciousness. This book makes learning meditation remarkably easy (although practicing it is not). But it also makes it seem infinitely appealing. --Ben Kallen

 where ever you go there you are written by jon kabat zinn August 24, 2010
grandma (new jersey)
I purchased this book as a gift for my granddaughter, I already own a copy. It is an excellent book offering great insite and helpful viewpoints to living a full life. Easy to read and understand.
 The Fourth Wall August 11, 2010
Carla Fair-Wright (Houston, TX USA)
When Kabat-Zinn wrote "Wherever You Go, There You Are" he exposed the reader to the fifth wall of mindfulness. What is the fifth wall? Having an actor in the family is quite educational. You learn things you might never know otherwise like the concept of the fourth wall. The fourth wall is the invisible boundary between the audience and the actors. The fifth wall takes it even further. How do I mean? Well, television has been described in the Encyclopedia of Television as the fifth wall because we can see beyond the four walls. On television, we can observe the wings of a bee moving in 'slow' motion.
Kabat-Zinn's book inspired me to gear down. What I got from the book was simple. If I focus hard even and I am still enough in my thoughts, I can see beyond the four walls of my mind's chatter. I can observe the tiny imperfections in the tile and I can taste the cold water on a hot day that seems so refreshing and enjoyable. I have meditated off and on for many years. I even studied with a "master" for a brief time. Unlike Insight Meditation: The Practice of Freedom or Buddhism Without Beliefs: A Contemporary Guide to Awakening this book is more of a guide. It takes a simple, clear path to the concept of meditation.
Excellent classic. August 2, 2010
Slynn Clark (Asheville, NC)
Zinn continues to touch the lives of individuals who are fortunate enough to encounter his work. I originally became familiar with this work years ago, but in my several moves, I had lost my copy of Wherever You Go, There You Are. Not only had I lost this work, but I had gotten away from my mindfulness journey. I am now back on track with this excellent classic.Wherever You Go, There You Are (ROUGH CUT)
Great book for life May 14, 2010
Choe Chang Ho (Seoul, Korea)
I first saw him saying in videos available on the web and thought it was pretty nice. The poem of Derek Walcott's, 'Love after Love' that he introduced almost in any lecture was very thought-provoking. It touched my mind deeply, when it said,"There will be the time when, with elation you will greet yourself..." The words "with elation" expecially touched me. And then I read this book. It was an experience that went deep into my inner being.
But I suppose that the mileage will vary widely depending on how well seasoned you are to understand the meaning of the words. If you are famililiar with Buddhist or some oriental traditions and culture, you will appreciate the reading a lot. Those quotes from Thoreau, Li Po, Kabir among others, gave me totally different understandings than before I read the book. I had read 'Walden' but I did not get the meanings or his intentions back then when I saw the words like "Only that day dawns to which we are awake." What is interesting is that Dr. Kabat-Zinn's book almost automatically makes me introduced to a fuller meaning of the quotes, allowing me to respond, 'oh..why didn't I know it before?'
So personally this book was one of those life-changing books that helped me go deeper with the meaning of my life.
Thanks a lot Dr. Kabat-Zinn.
