Overload - By: Foxylock, 28 Dec 2008 
There is a wealth of information containedin this book. Mercifully its divided into eight sections & each section is sub-divided into very readable chapters.
Anyone looking for a comprehensive guide to meditation or mindfulness practice could do a lot worse than read this book. However I found it quite tiresomein parts & the temptation to just plod along was ever present.This being the antithesis of mindfulness then maybe the point of the book is lost. I firmly believe that the material containedin this book is quite good but Jon Kabat Zinn lets it down with his long windedness & unnecessary self indulgence.
Hopeful handbook for healing through meditation - By: Rolf Dobelli, 22 Oct 2007 
At 600-plus pages, this deeply philosophical book may challenge some readers. But Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, an accomplished scientist, thinker & author, imparts his wisdomin short, easily digestible chapters. He says you can have a more peaceful, contented life if you are open to exploring the spiritual realm & the practice of mindful meditation. Kabat-Zinn, who cites studies & personal experiences, presents convincing evidence that meditation reduces everyday stress, & can help treat depression & fear, chronic pain, cancer & other serious illnesses. We believe that everyone can benefit from reading this mindful treatise - even those who are already healthy, wealthy & wise. Highly recommended.
