Mindfulness has been taught, practiced, and lived in medical settings for over 30 years now. Jon Kabat-Zinn started the revolution and now his students and colleagues Bob Stahl and Elisha Goldstein are taking the revolution to your living room. While Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is being taught in hundreds of centers worldwide, we haven’t had the do-it-your-self home course until now.
In their new and bestselling book, A Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook, Bob and Elisha make mindfulness practical and accessible to anyone.
For example, consider the S-T-O-P technique that stands for Stop-Take a Breath-Observe-Proceed.
S-T-O-P is similar to my metaphor of Stop, Drop, and Roll.
This book is filled with practical wisdom and includes a practice CD with 8.5 hours of guided meditations on mp3.
