Kabat-Zinn is credited with introducing the concept of mindfulness to mainstream medicine and society. This little gem represents a best-of collection of quotes from his later work. A coffee-table book compiled from Jon Kabat-Zinn's "Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness", "Arriving at Your Own Door" highlights Kabat-Zinn's ability to put into words concepts which are often difficult to absorb.

There is no time other than now. We are not, contrary to what we think, "going" anywhere. It will never be more rich in some other moment than in this one. Although we may imagine that some future moment will be more pleasant, or less, than this one, we can't really know. But whatever the future brings, it will not be what you expect, or what you think, and when it comes, it will be NOW too. It too will be a moment that can be very easily missed, just as easily missed as this one.

As a daily reminder to attend to the present moment rather than being driven by the regrets of yesterday or the "awfulizing" of future events, this was a helpful resource. The simple one or two line reminders were concise and powerful.

These kinds of books are hard for me to read & remember. Lots of great thoughts, they just don't stay with me.
