Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment—and Your Life

This gentle yet powerful guide introduces the transformative practice of mindfulness in its most accessible form. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), offers a heartfelt invitation to return to the simplicity and sacredness of the present moment. With clarity and compassion, he shares how mindfulness can help release us from habitual thoughts, ease emotional suffering, and reconnect us with the richness of life as it is—right now.

Whether you’re just beginning your mindfulness journey or returning to it with fresh eyes, this book offers practical wisdom, meditative insights, and timeless encouragement to live more fully, more freely, and more awake.

Accompanying CD contains five guided mindfulness meditations.
