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. Review: An excellent and valuable mindfulness resource - There has been an explosion of self-help, academic, and therapy books about mindfulness over the last 10 years. However, from my experience not that many books are totally successful in terms of clarity and level of detail about how to be mindful, what one is actually doing when being mindful and when engaging in a formal mindfulness practice. In contrast, Eric Harrison in his new book manages to provide a very stimulating and comprehensive account of the fundamentals of how to cultivate a mindfulness practice, as well as providing the reader with a history of mindfulness and its modern application. In particular, his analysis of the evaluation and thought reappraisal function inherent in mindfulness that is now being formally investigated by mindfulness researchers was most intriguing. I believe this book will be of value to both the general public and more advanced practitioners in terms of how to enhance one's mindfulness practice to improve focus, relaxation, and good judgement. Those people with an academic approach to mindfulness may also find the sections on defining mindfulness, attention, open monitoring, and embodied thought of special interest. Review: Great read! Clear - Great read! Clear, concise and informative. Not only does Eric provide a user-friendly, secular translation of the Buddha's original text on how to meditate, he also clarifies modern mindfulness in the Western world and gives us the background information of how mindful meditation moved from being solely a monastic practice to the broad field it is today.The book also gives excellent instructions on how to meditate, explains the difference between mindfulness and meditation, and what happens when we practise these skills. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,691,697 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,965 in Meditation (Books) #6,451 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | ## Images ![The Foundations of Mindfulness: How to Cultivate Attention, Good Judgment, and Tranquility - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618yBLehiHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent and valuable mindfulness resource *by M***D on June 12, 2017* There has been an explosion of self-help, academic, and therapy books about mindfulness over the last 10 years.
