In 2006, the author of Wherever You Go, There You Are published Coming to Our Senses, a sustained look at the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual wellbeing. This series of books consists of self-contained sections from that work—updated, and with new forewords—offering an opportunity to study Jon Kabat-Zinn's concepts in detail.

The cultivation of mindfulness can reshape your relationship with your own body and mind, teaching us to confront all sorts of life challenges, including our own mortality, so we can make the most of the moments that we have. Bringing decades of experience to the subject, Jon Kabat-Zinn lays out what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, and details how meditation can positively affect our biology and our health.
