Coming to Our Senses
by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Kabat-Zinn's long, wide-ranging book on mindfulness in the senses, medicine, politics and the world. Rich and discursive; it rewards slow reading and frustrates readers who want structure.
Read it if…
you have a practice and want Kabat-Zinn's deepest, broadest reflections.

Three things you will actually use

- Slow reading is practice.
Do this first
