Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness Paperback – Illustrated, 24 Sept. 2013

Great book for people interested in stress relief. A very practical guide to understand Mindfulness!

This is just brilliant. I have been meditating for 7 years, been to meditation classes & been part of a Buddhist Sangha yet I was not explained meditation in such a clear & simple way that I could understand before like in this book. Extremely good book, one that I will keep referring to for many years to come

this is a book that you can keep reading - and re-reading - more a manual for life. The techniques are based on meditation and ancient wisdom, all put into an accessible form for the modern reader- excellent.

I adore audio books. OK its athe abridged version but all of the main points are there and you can rewind. Mindfulless is a fantastic way to veiw and live life and this book along with the 8 week audio programme i also brought gives you a great grounding in what Mindfulness is about without being prescriptive as to what you should get out of it. I listen to this anytime during the day but find when I get into bed is the best time for me . Its surpising how much you do remember and I think it helps me to undertsand because I can hear the words. I do hope Amazon provide a wider range of audio books, as for me it makes reading so much more enjoyable.

Good book

The best reference book I've ever read on mindfulness. Easy to read, to understand, useful and practical. A must have book to live.

My son likes this kind of thing, he has autism and prefers audio books and CD books. He told me the name and I bought it for him. He's told me to make it as a 3. I don't know anything about the book. He gives a honest opinion so hopefully it might help someone decide. Happy reading

I love the way this book is written really informative

This was a life-changing book for me in the 1990s and picked it up again as my old copy has finally worn out. The MBSR program is still going strong and can help practically anyone to feel better and even change the course of pain and diseases. Yes, there are some things that are dated and repetitive, but 98% of the book is still wonderful material and relevant-and is a great reference guide to have in your practice.. You can get many other Mindfulness books by the author, but this is sort of the Bible they all grew out of. I always liked this book because Kabat-Zinn has a writing style that is empathetic and supportive-but also gives you all the details you may want. It also has chapters on specific issues you may face like pain, anxiety, eating, sleeping and work stress. It is a life makeover that works!

Uma verdadeira fonte de sabedoria para praticantes de meditação

As expected.

L'autore è u ngrandissimo professionista. Tutti gli studi SCIENTIFICI citati nel libro mostrano che il suo protocollo e i suoi consigli sono validissimi se applicati nel modo corretto. Io ne ho tratto un enorme giovamento per la mia vita e la mia salute. Grazie!

I never understood how a book can be life-changing until I came across the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. If you’re suffering from chronic pain, stress or illness don’t hesitate and buy the book. It truly helps understanding the mind-body connection and provides a different approach (other than the general medical help), which is often the point of view you need to heal. good luck & thank you, Jon Kabat-Zinn!
