Book: Wherever You Go, There You Are

“Wherever you go, there you are. Whatever you wind up doing, that’s what you’ve wound up doing. Whatever you are thinking right now, that’s what’s on your mind. The important question is how are you going to handle it?” Jon Kabat-Zinn

This book is great for those new to meditation as well as those who are well practiced. Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness meditation with reference to classic texts but also talks about his own experiences.
