that's the title of a book by jon kabat-zinn, it's about mindfulness - a method of living fully in the moment without judgement.
i really like kabat-zinn's cd-set 'Guided Mindfulness Meditation', which encloses a guided body scan meditation cd, 2 mindful yoga cds and a sitting meditation cd.
i've stumbled across jon kabat-zinn's 'Full Catastrophe Living' about 4 years ago. at a time where i nearly lost my mind through terrible pains (lost 60 pounds in 2 months - no diet ;-) - just pain 24/7). pain killers didn't work, only the adverse effects ;-) ... 'lucky me'... so i started with mindfulness meditation, which really helped me to continue to live ....
for those, who just want to learn how to meditate, the book 'Meditation Week by Week: 52 Meditations to Help You Grow in Peace and Awareness' by david fontana is a nice little and easy entrance. the german title of this book is 'Das Leben atmen'. apropos german: amazon.com has no look inside function for this book, but the german amazon.de allows an insight into the english version.
as for jon kabat-zinn and 'his' stress reduction clinic ...
