Book Review of Wherever You Go, There You Are : Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life

Wherever You Go, There You Are : Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life
CherokeeJoy avatar reviewed Mindfulness on + 37 more book reviews


Mindfulness is basically living in the NOW. You will have to decide whether you can understand Kabat-Zinn or Eckart Tolle or someone else as to how to do this. I think this book is pretty good but I also think it's all dependent on your learning style. This and other meditation modalities are not easy to explain to someone, especially if you're doing it book length. I think a lot of people tend to put in too much just to fill up the book.

That said, I liked it. Certainly it is well worth learning. It's an instant stress-buster and develops compassion, patience and appreciation. In this day and age of greed, burst bubbles and a coming economic depression it is an invaluable tool of survival without drama. Others create enough drama for the rest of us, don't you think??
