Summary:
"Here, the teacher, scientist, and clinician who first demonstrated the benefits of
mindfulness
within mainstream Western medicine offers a book that you can use in three unique ways; as a collection of reflections and practices to be opened and explored at random; as an illuminating and engaging start-to-finish read; or as an unfolding 'lesson-a-day' primer on
mindfulness
practice."--Jacket.
