  • Full Catastrophe Living

    Jon Kabat-Zinn · Rated 8.6 · Highly recommended

    How this book uses it: In meditation, not trying to achieve anything or go anywhere. This is hard for achievers. The goal is to be, not do.

  • Wherever You Go, There You Are

    Jon Kabat-Zinn · Rated 6.2 · Worth skimming

    How this book uses it: Most of life is about achieving, improving, getting somewhere. Meditation is the opposite - being fully where you are without trying to change anything.
