Discover the power of mindfulness in everyday life. Mindfulness is much more than just a practice: it is an adventure, an invitation to live every minute of our existence consciously. With a lot of humor and a spirit of exploration, Jon Kabat-Zinn presents various aspects of mindfulness and shows us ways to cultivate it effortlessly in our daily lives. We learn to root ourselves in our lives with all our senses, to approach professional or personal stress situations in new ways, and to maintain inner balance even in the face of difficult experiences. We identify the thought patterns that lead to suffering and cultivate emotional stability, so that every moment of our existence can be a turning point – a promising gateway to a new way of living.

This book includes a step-by-step guide to fundamental mindfulness exercises. It is based on Jon Kabat-Zinn's most comprehensive audio program on the topic of mindfulness. Eleven guided meditations and yoga exercises will guide you through the program.
