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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMeditation Is Not What You Think \u003c\/i\u003eanswers those questions. Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book entitled \u003ci\u003eComing to Our Senses\u003c\/i\u003e, it has been updated with a new foreword by the author and is even more relevant today. If you'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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Kabat-Zinn, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is founding Executive Director of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
