A growing body of scientific research indicates that mindfulness can reduce stress and improve mental and physical health. Countless people who have tried it say it's improved their quality of life. Simply put, mindfulness is the practice of paying steady and full attention, without judgment or criticism, to our moment-to-moment experience. Here is a collection of the best writing on what mindfulness is, why we should practice it, and how to apply it in daily life, from leading figures in the field. Selections include:
• Leading thinker Jon Kabat-Zinn on the essence of mindfulness, stress reduction, and positive change

• Professor of psychiatry Daniel Siegel, MD, on how mindfulness benefits the brain
