So usually I finish reading the
book before writing the book report.
Having been away and having to get things back together from being away,
I am a little behind and should have chosen a shorter book. I am about halfway through Jon
Kabat-Zinn’s book, Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind
to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness.
It is awesome.
I chose to read it because it
kept coming up as a major resource for mindfulness in all the other stuff I
have been reading. The book
outlines Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR), which is used in hospitals
and medical centers. It is both
practical and inspirational, laying out the tools and the evidence for
mindfulness as a way of life. I am
looking forward to reading the rest.
One caveat: the book references a companion CD
program of guided meditations.
While the book can be used without the CDs, I personally wish that I had
bought both at the same time instead of waiting (somewhat impatiently now) for
the CDs to arrive. Once they do, I
will be embarking on the eight week program. Anyone want to join me?
