Helpful Score: 4

I love this book. Jon Kabat-Zinn's writing conveys the quiet stillness that comes from being mindful, and reading it helped me slow down and be present in the moments of reading it. His words created the meditative state for me. He does a nice job of delineating what mindfulness is and is not, and contrasts the benefits of mindfulness and the pitfalls of nonawareness. He offers open and honest examples from his own life to illustrate how busy-ness, hurrying, and distraction take us away from actually experiencing life. Mindful living is the cure for dissatisfaction, stress, ill health and unhappiness.
