Falling Awake

By paying attention at the moment and to the people we are with, Jon Kabat-Zinn says we can bring richness and power to our lives that go beyond healing to give us meaning, wonder, and joy in life. "It's very similar to falling asleep," he says, "only this is “actually” falling awake."

Kabat-Zinn has decades of experience with the effectiveness of meditative techniques for chronic stress and pain conditions as well as simple daily annoyances.
