This book is for people looking for advice on accessing mindfulness more throughout their day to day lives. Whether the goal is stress reduction, being more present, or mindfulness for mindfulness’s sake, this book (first published in 1994) has been reprinted to keep introducing new generations of readers to the concepts of mindfulness and mediation. The author has added a new introduction and afterword, himself a master of Zen/Chan Buddhism and doctor in molecular biology. He’s distilled the wisdom he’s gained from his practices to be as effective as possible without the metaphysical or religious properties.
