Kabat-Zinn, who has written 10 books on mindfulness and led nearly a hundred retreats, describes meditation as a mental workout. His name is Jon Kabat-Zinn and he thinks mindfulness is the answer for people who are so overwhelmed by life, they feel they aren't really living at all.
Jon Kabat-Zinn, is an MIT-trained scientist who's been practicing mindfulness for 47 years.
Back in 1979, he started teaching mindfulness through meditation to people suffering from chronic pain and illness.
Those waves of thought Kabat-Zinn described - they're still there but you get less distracted by them.At breakfast, we spent time relearning some of the very basic things in life - including how to eat food. The retreat lasted three days and most of that time was spent just sitting there, silently meditating - with occasional guidance from Kabat-Zinn.
