Review: Equanimity through Mindfulness Meditation - This is the best self-help book I have ever read. It is easy to read and provides clear and concise methods to gain the wisdom to cope with the stresses encountered in everyday life. The author's language, writing skill and ability to provide examples in nature to explain Mindfulness are beautiful. Telling us to pay attention to our breath to keep our focus and get back on track he talks about sitting with dignity and paying attention to the things around us. He gives many examples that include standing, walking, laying down, and doing everyday things while practicing for a minute to 45 minutes depending on our life circumstance at the time. My favorite analogy is that of the mountain. He state: "Mountains are quintessentially emblematic of abiding presence and stillness." "By becoming a mountain in our meditation, we can link with its strength and stability, and adopt them for our own. We can use its energies to support our efforts to encounter each moment with mindfulness, equanimity, and clarity. It may help us to see that our thoughts and feelings, our preoccupations, our emotional storms and crises, even the things that happen to us are much like the weather on the mountain. We tend to take it personally, but its strongest characteristic is impersonal. The weather in our own lives is not to be ignored or denied. It is to be encountered, honored, felt, known for what it is, and held in high awareness since it can kill us. In holding it in this way, we come to know a deeper silence and stillness within the storms, mountains have this to teach us, and more if we can come to listen." I recommend this book to anyone who is stressed, angry, and unable to escape or deal with their unpleasant environment. Review: Be here now! - Review for desertcart by Jerry Woolpy of Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn This is a book that defines meditation as awareness of yourself in the immediate present. It is not mystical, spiritual, or religious. It explains thinking as an epiphenomenon of the mind and the self as an ever changing nonentity linked to situations. We tend to think in the past and the future ignoring the sensations of the moment that we are actually in. By taking time to be mindful of our breadth, a pleasant image, or a compassionate idea, for five, fifteen, or even forty-five minutes a day we can reinforce a mindset to actually witness our connectedness to the universe and to discern an objective sense of the truth without the bias of selfish judgments and personal tastes. Mindfulness may help us to correct the direction of our lives (karma) toward relieving suffering and not causing the suffering of others (ahimsa). It provides a new way of being alive instead of trying to be something that you are not already. But like charity recommended in the Talmud, do not do it for self-aggrandizement or to impress others. It is strictly a personal effort. Mindfulness does not stop the vicissitudes of your life, but it helps you to cope with them. The apt metaphor is “You Can’t Stop the Waves but you Can Learn to Surf”. Contrary to common opinion, mindfulness is not shutting-off from the world but it is seeing the world more clearly. It involves concentration (samadhi) rather than relaxation. And it is not a way of doing. If someone hits you with a stick, rather than hitting back, you consider the chain of events that may have led to the hit. Maybe you should be angry at the hitter’s parents or the lack of compassion in the hitter’s upbringing. Notice how all events are connected. What may look like a show of strength may actually be weakness. Consider being soft when your impulse is to be hard. Mindfulness is openness, curiosity, availability, engagement. You can meditate sitting, standing, or even walking. The right way is the way that you choose to do it. Peter Matthiessen has written: The purpose of meditation practice is not enlightenment; it is to pay attention even at unextraordinary times, to be of the present, nothing-but-the-present, to bear this mindfulness of now into each event of ordinary life. Mindfulness makes us aware of choices that we did not know we had. When you stop outward activity with a decision to sit, you may break the flow of bad karma and open the possibility of replacing it with good karma. The current edition of the book adds at the end: We all are. Perfectly what we are, including all our imperfections and inadequacies. The question is: can we be with it? Can we sit with it? Can we know it? Can we embrace our own wholeness and embody it, here, where we already are, in the very situations, good, bad, ugly, lost, confusing, heart-rending, terrifying, and painful, that we find ourselves in? ## Features - Motivational poster that is perfect for classrooms - High quality image, crisp and clear - Allow your mind to wander to endless landscapes of possibility - Durable and long lasting design will allow for generations of minds to think differently and positively - 13.4 x 19 inches will provide your wall with an inspirational message that all ages can appreciate ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #86,891 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #329 in Educational Charts & Posters | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,080 Reviews | ## Images ![Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YGcWlDmUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Equanimity through Mindfulness Meditation *by T***E on January 4, 2008* This is the best self-help book I have ever read.

Which - stated in slightly more than six words! - goes something like this: We're all constantly in motion, going from one activity to another, being with one person after another, having one thought after another. It's easy to lose ourselves in this continuous stream of change, such that we sometimes speak and act with insufficient awareness of the impact of our words and our deeds. But, through the practice of staying mindful, we need not "lose ourselves" in any situation. We can train ourselves to be more fully self-aware no matter what the circumstances. Wherever we happen to be at any particular moment, that is the right time and the right place for mindfulness, precisely because that is where we happen to be at that moment. Kabat-Zinn, the founder of the renowned Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, structures his book into three distinct sections. The first part ("The Bloom of the Present Moment") considers the manifold virtues of staying focused on our present-moment experience, as opposed to dwelling on past events and/or planning for future events. The second part ("The Heart of the Practice") offers useful instruction on various aspects of practicing meditation, and includes some very useful scenarios for meditating outdoors in nature. The third and last part ("In the Spirit of Mindfulness") gives practical examples of taking the learning from meditation practice and putting that learning to good use in everyday situations. This closing section finds the author very generously sharing from his own experiences with mindfulness in daily life, even in some instances where he himself fails in his efforts to be mindful. These episodes proved for me to be the most powerful passages in this extraordinarily useful book - one that can be of service to both the beginning and the seasoned meditator, and one that can be returned to again and again for renewed insight into the practice and the benefits of always being right there, wherever you are. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life - Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition): Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness - Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/246162-wherever-you-go-there-you-are-mindfulness-meditation-in-everyday](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/246162-wherever-you-go-there-you-are-mindfulness-meditation-in-everyday) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
