Achtsamkeit für Anfänger

The path of mindfulness is open to each of us.

Jon Kabat-Zinn shows us how we can integrate the practice of mindfulness into our lives. With his guided exercises and meditations, "Mindfulness for Beginners" provides an entry point for those who have had little or no exposure to mindfulness practice. However, for those familiar with his work and MBSR, this foundational book can be a daily companion on the path of mindfulness practice.

The guided meditations invite us to unfold the practice of mindfulness and to dwell in the moment. Right here, right now – in order to explore the true potential of our humanity.
