Synopsis

More than twenty years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. He followed that up with 2005's Coming to Our Senses, the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our well-being on every level, physical, cognitive, emotional, social, planetary, and spiritual.

Now, Coming to Our Senses is being repackaged into 4 smaller books, each focusing on a different aspect of mindfulness, and each with a new foreword written by the author. In the fourth of these books, Mindfulness for All (which was originally published as Part VII and Part VIII of Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on how mindfulness really can be a tool to transform the world--explaining how democracy thrives in a mindful context, and why mindfulness is a vital tool for both personal and global understanding and action in these tumultuous times. By "coming to our senses"--both literally and metaphorically--we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Goodreads review by Annette on November 12, 2018

I’ve never read a spiritual book, which touched upon politics. It’s a bit unsettling. I understand the author trying to convey his message, but there are other ways to do it. The premise of the book is very true that mindfulness is very important and should be an integral part of our lives. But most......more

Goodreads review by Alexander on September 17, 2020

Great ending to the book and perspective given about your being. The karma meets Dharma was interesting and connection to the universe. For me the start was hard to connect with and there were a lot of references to the other books (which I had not read) but I respect the author and there are some h......more

Goodreads review by András on February 08, 2020

Kabat-Zinn's 2019 book finds him in full prophetic thought leader mode, something he "trained" for in previous books. I've come to this one hoping for a practical, pragmatic update on the brand of everyday meditation that made him famous. There's not a modicum of practical advice or considerations in......more

Goodreads review by Alfa on January 27, 2025

This is the fourth book in the author's Mindfulness for All series. Its central theme is a call to society to embrace mindfulness as a collective practice, promoting harmony and peace within humanity. The book emphasizes that individual mindfulness can lead to a healthier "body politic," where mindf......more

Goodreads review by Maribel on November 14, 2021

A disappointment of a book, poorly written (stream of consciousness style) and poorly edited (continents include North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America (see foreword) -- not only is Latam not a continent, it doesn't mention Oceania which is...) I kept wanting to drop it through the rea......more
