Jon Kabat-Zinn has spent his career since the 1970s attempting to bring mindfulness into mainstream medicine. His eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program has sought to bring a scientific, evidence-based practice of mindfulness to people suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, pain, and more. In this talk that he delivered at Google over 15 years ago, Kabat-Zinn introduces mindfulness as a mode of paying attention that can be re-contextualized in a secular setting separate from the cliches of Buddhist monks meditating. He discusses the long process of getting mindfulness meditation to be respected and studied by the scientific community and the successes that they've had with it up to that point. Kabat-Zinn challenges us to try out this mode of being in the present moment in order to take a break from the constant doing and thinking of everyday life. If his ideas sound interesting and you're looking for a place to start practicing mindfulness, we highly recommend Kabat-Zinn's three guided mindfulness meditation audio programs: Guided Mindfulness Meditation Series 1, Guided Mindfulness Meditation Series 2, and Guided Mindfulness Meditation Series 3.
