Synopsis

“Excellent. Fully Present offers one of the clearest introductions to mindfulness in the field.” ―Library Journal

Mindfulness ―the art of paying attention with an open and curious mind to present-moment experiences―has attracted ever-growing interest and tens of thousands of practitioners, who have come to the discipline from both within and outside the Buddhist tradition. In Fully Present, leading mindfulness researchers and educators Dr. Sue Smalley and Diana Winston provide an all-in-one guide for anyone interested in bringing mindfulness to daily life as a means of enhancing well-being.

This new edition, now with a new afterword, provides both a scientific explanation for how mindfulness positively and powerfully affects the brain and the body as well as practical guidance to develop both a practice and mindfulness in daily living, not only through meditation but also during daily experiences. Now, you can wait in line at the supermarket, exercise, or face difficult news with calm and mental fortitude.

Ditch the absent-minded lifestyle and begin bringing your full self and your full mind everywhere. With research studies, personal accounts, and practical applications, Fully Present highlights how things like simply breathing, listening, and walking can change your perspective―and your life.

“A highly readable, informed, and elegant synthesis.” ―Jon Kabat-Zinn, bestselling author; founder of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School

“A beautiful contribution to the exciting new studies on all the benefits of mindfulness.” ―Meg Ryan, actress

“An artful approach that results in a well-rounded synthesis accessible to scholars and laymen alike.” ―Publishers Weekly
