Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life (originally published in 1994) is a non-fiction, self-help book by Jon Kabat-Zinn.[1][2]

Overview

[edit]

Kabat-Zinn, a professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Massachusetts, offers his plan for improving mindfulness through meditation.[3] He talks of mindfulness as learning to pay attention moment by moment, intentionally and with curiosity and compassion.[4]

The book explains meditation as a scientifically established practice that can help reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and lead to improved awareness. The exercises in the book can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time.[3] This self help book is for those coming to meditation for the first time and to longtime practitioners, anyone who wants to achieve mindfulness.[1][5]
