Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in ever
yday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, The
re You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for
our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual we
llbeing. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories
, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, des
cribing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, t
hrough our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated
, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world. In each of the book's eight parts, Jo
n Kabat-Zinn explores another facet of the great adventure of healing ourselves-
-and our world--through mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensescapes" of
our lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses, including the huma
n mind itself, allows us to live more fully and more authentically.
