<b>Welcome to a master class in mindfulness.</b><br /><br /> Jon Kabat-Zinn is regarded as "one of the finest teachers of mindfulness you&apos;ll ever encounter" (Jack Kornfield). He has been teaching the tangible benefits of meditation in the mainstream for decades. Today, millions of people around the world have taken up a formal mindfulness meditation practice as part of their everyday lives. But what is meditation anyway? And why might it be worth trying? Or nurturing further if you already have practice? <br /><br /><i>Meditation Is Not What You Think </i>answers those questions. Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book entitled <i>Coming to Our Senses</i>, it has been updated with a new foreword by the author and is even more relevant today. If you&apos;re curious as to why meditation is not for the "faint-hearted," how taking some time each day to drop into awareness can actually be a radical act of love, and why paying attention is so supremely important, consider this book an invitation to learn more -- from one of the pioneers of the worldwide mindfulness movement.
