When Jon Kabat-Zinn founded the stress reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts, the use of meditation to control stress was considered a novel concept. Today, mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques have gone mainstream, appearing in hospitals, schools, and even military settings. Kabat-Zinn joins us to talk about his latest book, "Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment."

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Jon Kabat-Zinn, author and professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
