Jon Kabat-Zinn's Science of Mindfulness [audio]

On a related note, I found this ebook ("Mindfulness in Plain English") an interesting read, clearing misconceptions about meditation and how it is related to mindfulness.<p><a href="http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html</a>

An interesting point he talks about is that growing up at the intersection between science and art lead him towards mindfulness. This reminded me of pgs Hackers and Painters connection.

Jon Kabat-Zinn gave an hour-long talk at Google I found excellent too (they talk about it in this interview).<p>Both restful and thought-provoking. If you're mildly interested, I recommend watching the video.<p>I think this is the link -- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwwKbM_vJc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwwKbM_vJc</a> -- but I'm in China, which blocks YouTube, so please correct if it's wrong.<p>Edit: his Wikipedia page -- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kabat-Zinn" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kabat-Zinn</a> -- links to a bunch of talks he's given -- <a href="http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Jon+Kabat-Zinn&#38;hl=en&#38;safe=off&#38;rlz=1B3GGLL_enIN384IN384&#38;prmd=vnibo&#38;source=univ&#38;tbs=vid:1&#38;tbo=u&#38;ei=uVysTM9girxwgMy08QQ&#38;sa=X&#38;oi=video_result_group&#38;ct=title&#38;resnum=1&#38;ved=0CCQQqwQwAA&#38;gbv=1&#38;sei=J-TgUOPoFKeaiAfOt4CADw" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Jon+Kabat-Zinn&#38;hl=en&#3...</a>

JKZ has some good videos on YT for anyone looking to learn more about mindfulness meditation.

Could someone please give an executive summary? (I know there may be some irony in asking this.)

I've been doing this for a couple of months to deal with anxiety, I can't recommend it enough.

sorry... this comes across as pure advertising to me.
