New Releases by Jon Kabat-Zinn

La consapevolezza è considerata l''elemento centrale della meditazione buddista, ma la sua essenza è universale e di profonda utilità pratica per tutti. Essenzialmente la consapevolezza è essere sempre vigili e, malgrado sia caratteristico della nostra mente innescare il pilota automatico e perdere il contatto con l''unico momento, quello presente, di cui effettivamente disponiamo per vivere, sentire, crescere, amare, dare forma alle cose o guarire, essa possiede anche l''innata capacità di destarci al «qui e ora». In questo libro Jon Kabat-Zinn traccia un percorso semplice per coltivare la consapevolezza nella nostra vita. Come un giardino esige cure attente se vogliamo coltivare fiori e non vederlo invaso dalle erbacce, così la consapevolezza richiede interventi regolari. L''autore si rivolge sia a chi si avvicina alla meditazione per la prima volta, sia ai praticanti di lunga data e a chiunque sia interessato a recuperare la ricchezza dei propri momenti. Solo grazie alla meditazione, che è appunto l''essere presenti a se stessi, possiamo vivere invece che lasciarci vivere. La meditazione è infatti il processo finalizzato ad approfondire attenzione e lucidità e a metterle in atto nella vita.

Si ha estado luchando contra la depresión, no se desaliente. La atención plena, una forma sencilla y, sin embargo, muy potente de prestar atención a las emociones y experiencias vitales más difíciles, puede ayudarle a romper el ciclo de infelicidad crónica de una vez por todas. En Vencer la depresión, cuatro expertos extraordinariamente cualificados explican por qué nuestros intentos habituales de pensar en una forma de salir del estado de ánimo depresivo o de simplemente salir adelante nos llevan a hundirnos todavía más en la espiral descendente de la depresión. A través de lecciones basadas tanto en las tradiciones meditativas orientales como en la terapia cognitiva, estos expertos nos muestran cómo esquivar los hábitos mentales que conducen a la desesperación, incluidos el sentimiento de culpa y los pensamientos recurrentes, con el fin de que podamos enfrentarnos a los desafíos de la vida con una mayor flexibilidad y capacidad de recuperación. Este libro está dirigido a todos aquellos que desean recobrar la esperanza y una sensación de bienestar.

La atención plena se sitúa en el corazón de la meditación budista, pero su esencia es universal y tiene un profundo beneficio práctico para todo el mundo. Con frecuencia, nuestra mente no es consciente de las múltiples posibilidades que encierra el momento presente y de su belleza única, ya que nuestra naturaleza alberga una tendencia al automatismo que nos aleja del contacto con el único tiempo que tenemos para vivir, crecer, sentir, amar, aprender y darle forma a las cosas. En este libro, Jon Kabat-Zinn nos muestra el camino para practicar la meditación y desarrollar la atención plena en nuestras propias vidas. Se dirige tanto a los que llegan a la meditación por primera vez como a aquellos practicantes experimentados, a todos aquellos que desean disfrutar de todos los momentos enriquecedores de la vida.

« Avec son langage simple et ses idées percutantes, Au cœur de la tourmente, la pleine conscience a fait découvrir à toute l’Amérique que la technique la plus simple de méditation - fondée sur la conscience du moment présent - était une des voies royales vers une vie plus riche et plus équilibrée. C’est un livre fondateur et essentiel pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à leur santé, autant émotionnelle que physique. Et pour tous les soignants. » David Servan-Schreiber Nous souffrons tous un jour ou l’autre. Cette souffrance peut être petite ou grande, personnelle ou professionnelle, générer un stress minime ou important. Certains d’entre nous y font face, d’autres n’arrivent pas à gérer. La technique de la pleine conscience nous aide à vivre le moment présent qu’il soit positif ou négatif, à l’appréhender comme un fait en nous demandant non pas comment réagir mais comment répondre. Comme l’explique Christophe André, « La vie ne commence pas qu’une fois tous nos problèmes résolus. Non, elle est déjà là, sous nos problèmes et nos insatisfactions. Prête à accueillir le bonheur et la grâce. » Cet ouvrage, basé sur le célèbre programme de réduction du stress de Jon Kabat-Zinn, nous explique ce qu’est la pleine conscience, ce qu’elle peut nous apporter et comment l’ « atteindre ». Tous ceux qui souhaitent vivre et mener une vie plus saine et plus harmonieuse dans le monde d’aujourd’hui devraient découvrir Au cœur de la tourmente, la pleine conscience…

From the bestselling author and renowned mindfulness teacher, scientist, and educator. . .a guide to living a meaningful life. This follow-up to the widely praised national bestseller Wherever You Go, There You Are is yet another revolutionary offering from Jon Kabat-Zinn, showing readers how the power of mindfulness can bring radical change to their lives. In the national bestseller Wherever You Go, There You Are, Jon Kabat-Zinn struck a chord in contemporary society that continues to reverberate to this day. It has been embraced by politicians, business leaders, and celebrities and endures as a classic with readers. In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Kabat-Zinn teaches us how to harness the power of mindfulness to effect profound change in our personal lives and in the world. As stress continues to exact a toll on everyday life, people are increasingly turning to ancient, meditative methods, which have been tested by science, to relieve the ill effects and become more focused, healthy, and proactive. Kabat-Zinn has been for decades at the forefront of this mind/body movement and the revolution in medicine and health care it has spawned, demystifying it and bringing it into the mainstream. In Coming to Our Senses, he shares how every human has the capacity to mobilize deep, innate resources for continual learning, growing, healing, and transformation through mindfulness. Woven into eight parts, Coming to Our Senses uses anecdotes and stories from Kabat-Zinn''s own life experiences and work in his clinic to illustrate healing possibilities. At its core, the book offers remarkable insight into how to use the five senses -- touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell, plus awareness itself -- as a path to a healthier, saner, and more meaningful life. This is the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness, health, and our physical and spiritual well-being.

Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy--both with others and with ourselves--creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America''s leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness ( metta in Pali), can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us create true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as "the liberation of the heart, which is love." The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity--the four "heavenly abodes" of traditional Buddhism.

The bestselling author of "Wherever You Go, There You Are" joins forces with his wife, Myla, in this groundbreaking new book about mindfulness in parenting children of all ages. Two-color throughout.
