    Synopsis

    “Happy 15th birthday to one of the great classics of mind/body medicine! More than any other, Full Catastrophe Living is the book that enabled Americans to discover the inner life. This book has brought peace of mind to hundreds and thousands of people and healed countless lives. This is your chance to let it heal yours.”
    –Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom

    It is everywhere around us. Even worse, it gets inside us: sapping our energy, undermining our health, and making us more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and disease. Now, based on Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this groundbreaking book shows you how to use natural, medically proven methods to soothe and heal your body, mind, and spirit. By using the practices described within, you can learn to manage chronic pain resulting from illness and/or stress-related disorders…discover the roles that anger and tension play in heart disease…reduce anxiety and feelings of panic…improve overall quality of life and relationships through mindfulness meditation and mindful yoga. More timely than ever before, Full Catastrophe Living is a book for the young and the old, the well, the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in today’s world.

    Annotation

    The founder of the Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center explains how to use "mindfulness"--moment-to-moment awareness--to cope with both illness and the everyday tensions encountered in life.

    March 09, 2009: I read this book several years ago, knowing that it would contribute well to my work as a psychologist. Re-reading it again recently for my own health, I appreciated it much more. It's an actual protocol for Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program. I took the class while reading this book which I recommend as the best way to approach it.

    Parts of it ran a bit long for me. Some of the examples, and some of the repeat content could have been cut down to reduce the overall length of the book. That would not have impacted the essence of the book, and may have made it more accessible to those who didn't approach it because of it's weight.
