Publisher's summary

Find quiet reflective moments in your life—and reduce your stress levels drastically—with this classic bestselling guide updated and featuring a new introduction and afterword.

When Wherever You Go, There You Are was first published in 1994, no one could have predicted that the book would launch itself onto bestseller lists nationwide and sell over 1 million copies to date. Thirty years later, Wherever You Go, There You Are remains a foundational guide to mindfulness and meditation, introducing readers to the practice and guiding them through the process. The author of over half a dozen books on mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn combines his research and medical background with his spiritual knowledge to help readers find peace and change their lives.

In this new edition, listeners will find a new introduction and afterword from Kabat-Zinn, as well as factual updates throughout to address changes in research and knowledge since it was originally published. After the special tumult of the last few years, as well as the promise of more unrest in the future, Wherever You Go, There You Are serves as an anchor for a whole new generation of listeners looking to find their center and achieve their true self.

"Want to meet the most interesting, exciting person you will ever know? Let Jon Kabat-Zinn introduce you to YOU. Nowhere else in the literation of meditation can you find so simple and commonsensical a path to yourself."—Norman Lear, television producer, Los Angeles
"This book shines with an exquisite simplicity and straightforwardness. Jon Kabat-Zinn is one of the best teachers of mindfulness you will ever meet." —Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart and After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

Better than I expected: very common sense consciousness guide. The chapter on parenting is particularly insightful.

Man that was powerful

The author does a great job of crafting a clinically convincing and artistically vulnerable work. I really enjoyed this book a lot and hope you do as well.

Among the best books ever…

…on any topic!
Wisdom, deftly and poetically expressed.
Timeless. Classic. I took the MBSR, led by the author, years ago. He has been an inspiration to me.
