PEBBLES AND PEARLS

In a series of short reflections (10-15 minutes each), the author of WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE offers his insights and suggestions for making mindfulness a part of such real-life situations as parenting, dealing with strong emotions, and using work as a contemplative practice. Kabat-Zinn speaks with passion to a live audience, often lowering his voice for emphasis. His message of mindfulness and awareness is laced with humor, although his voice has a sort of blue-collar edge to it. Overall, there is a sense of rough urgency in his presentation.
