Now in a 15th Anniversary Edition with a new introduction and updated mindfulness resources by the author, Full Catastrophe Living continues to be a very popular guide to “mindfulness-based stress reduction,” which works to improve a person’s response to stress, pain, and illness.

In this very informative guidebook for those of us who choose life and healing, the founder of the renowned Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center explains how to use “mindfulness”—moment-to-moment awareness—to cope with both illness and the everyday tensions of being alive. His practical guide to mindfulness meditation methods is also an illness-specific program for coping with chronic and serious health problems, and a philosophy of life in which being fully in the present is the ultimate goal.

“Happy 15th birthday to one of the great classics of mind/body medicine! This book has brought peace of mind to hundreds and thousands of people and healed countless lives.” —Rachel Naomi Remen, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
