内容简介
Amazon.com 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 From Publishers Weekly Kabat-Zinn's book outlines the Buddhist technique of "mindfulness": a method of living fully in the moment without judgment.

乔?卡巴金博士（Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.）
生于1944年，美国麻省理工学院分子生物学博士、马萨诸塞州医学院的荣誉医学博士，也是禅修指导师、畅销书作家。
1979年，卡巴金博士为麻州大学医学院开设减压诊所，并设计了“正念减压”课程（Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction，MBSR），协助病人以正念禅修处理压力、疼痛和疾病，获得多方肯定。
1995年，麻州大学再邀请卡巴金博士设立“正念医疗健康中心”。他开始进行关于身心互动疗愈效能的研究与相关临床应用，希望能藉此有效缓减慢性疼痛与压力引起种种失调症状。
20多年来，卡巴金博士创发的“正念减压疗法”已被医疗、学校、企业、监狱等机构广为应用，目前美、加等地约有200多家医疗院所和相关机构都运用正念减压疗法帮助病人。
卡巴金博士对灵性疗愈的贡献良多，获奖无数，他亦为精神与生命研究所（Mind and Life Institute）的董事，协助推动佛教界领袖与西方科学家的对话与交流，以期更深刻探索人类的心智、情绪与疾病。
