About this listen

Stress. It is everywhere around us. Even worse, it gets inside us: Sapping our energy, undermining our health, and making us more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and disease. Now, based on Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this groundbreaking audiobook shows you how to use natural, medically proven methods to soothe and heal your body, mind, and spirit. By using the practices described within, you can:

  • Learn to manage chronic pain resulting from illness and/or stress related disorders
  • Discover the roles that anger and tension play in heart disease
  • Reduce anxiety and feelings of panic
  • Improve overall quality of life and relationships through mindfulness meditation and mindful yoga

More timely than ever before, Full Catastrophe Living is an audiobook for the young and the old, the well, the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in today’s world.

Jon Kabat Zinn provides the perfect union of Eastern and Western philosophies of mindfulness, based on research , and gives us a way to be mindful of every moment we have. narrated wonderfully.

Wonderful introduction to MBSR

it's a book that needs to be repeatedly listened along with actual application. the original book is longer and detailed. but I liked this version as it contains the gist of every chapter.

deserves another listen

I liked the lack of any pretense and a clear serious voice of the audio. Good that the author himself read it out to us. I feel motivated to take up mindfulness meditation on a daily basis after listening to this.

Also that the audio book is edited and tailored to be one. This is not a verbatim reading out of the original book. It is actually challenging to do both - to edit the book as an audio book and to read it out impactfully. I look forward to get hold of the CDs mentioned in the original non-audio book now.

A truly no-non-sense book
