When Wherever You Go, There You Are was first published in 1994, no one could have predicted that the book would launch itself onto bestseller lists nationwide and sell over 1 million copies to date. Thirty years later, Wherever You Go, There You Are remains a foundational guide to mindfulness and meditation, introducing readers to the practice and guiding them through the process. The author of over half a dozen books on mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn combines his research and medical background with his spiritual knowledge to help readers find peace and change their lives.

Jon Kabat-Zinn makes it clear that the essence of meditative practice lies in how one lives one's life from moment to moment, in all its aspects and relationships, and not merely in formal meditative practices. This program offers an experience of mindfulness that is entirely congruent with our lives in the 21st Century: It is effective, portable, and easily adopted - a perfect antidote to life in the fast lane.

If you have psoriasis, you may find this meditation helpful in mobilizing and maximizing your innate capacities of mind and body to enhance healing and the clearing of your skin. The recording is meant to be "done" rather than simply passively listened to. That means following along with the guidance as best you can and practicing what is being suggested from moment to moment and through the stretches of silence.

In this exclusive online program, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, sits down with our very own Steve Stein to discuss the ever-growing importance of mindful living in the frantic, technologically burdened 21st century. In this StreetSmart Conversation, the two native New Yorkers cover topics such as: the Digital Sabbath; the science of mindfulness; mindful parenting; coping with real-world challenges and living mindfully in a world of digital distraction; and to round out the talk, Jon leads the viewer through a 10-minute meditation.
