Description
Who among us does not want to discern right from wrong and useful from useless in any situation?
Thirty years ago—long before the modern mindfulness movement—Eric Harrison began teaching meditation as a secular, science-based therapy. Paradoxically, he rooted his practice in the Buddha’s original teaching: the Satipatthana Sutta.
The 13 steps in the Sutta offer readers the full benefits of mindfulness: attention, good judgment, and tranquility. Now—informed by a lifetime spent teaching tens of thousands to meditate—Harrison offers both a new translation of the Sutta (the first in modern English) and lucid guidance on how to apply it today.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“For people seriously interested in mindfulness, this is a step-by step explanation of the Buddha’s original teachings on the subject, considered wholly (and paradoxically) from a secular, non-Buddhist perspective.”—Publishers Weekly

I've read a few books on mindfulness over that last few years and have a basic idea of the practice.. or so I thought. When I began to read Foundations of Mindfulness I quickly realized I had barely scratched the surface. The material presented by Eric Harrison went way beyond the other books, while still being understandable to a newcomer. Learning about the Three Sighs had an immediate impact on my day, and that came in the 4th chapter! If you are taking step one on your exploration into mindfulness, you might not want this to be your first book.. but if you have already started on your journey this book is what you want to read next.
