"[The] journey toward health and sanity is nothing less
than an invitation to wake up to the fullness of our lives
as if they actually mattered . . ." --Jon Kabat-Zinn,
from the Introduction Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn
changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life
with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness,
Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming
to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our
time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical
and spiritual wellbeing. With scientific rigor, poetic
deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn
examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies,
describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a
deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our
genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and
rapidly changing world. In each of the book�s eight
parts, Jon Kabat-Zinn explores another facet of the great
adventure of healing ourselves -- and our world -- through
mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensescapes" of our
lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses,
including the human mind itself, allows us to live more
fully and more authentically. By "coming to our senses" --
both literally and metaphorically by opening to our innate
connectedness with the world around us and within us -- we
can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware
human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing
of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both
little and big.
