Review: A classic book on the theory and application of mindfulness backed by years of research and real life application on hundreds of patients at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. A specific 8 week program called the Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is outlined for systematic introduction of mindfulness in our lives. I have been recently afflicted by an illness induced by the very medical field that is supposed to help us. The doctors prescribed a dangerous combination of cipro (antibiotic) and ketorolac (banned in many countries) for a minor illness which has left my entire body debilitated and in chronic neuropathic pain. This book has helped me tremendously. It has taught me to detach the mental part( worry, despair, ego) from the actual physical sensation. Thereby the intensity of the pain has reduced. I no longer identify myself with my body condition. It has made me realize that we are something beyond our body. It has given me hope. My only regret is that I did not come across this book much earlier. For someone who is facing a catastrophe and dead end with no hope, this is a God send. My deepest gratitude to the author Dr Kabat Zinn Review: Jon Kabat-Zinn, the creator of "MBSR" (mindfulness based stress reduction") explains how and why it works. He takes you through a literal MBSR class so through reading this book you can ALMOST have your own, individual MBSR 8-weeks class. The book is full of stories from the stress reduction clinic and how people found relief and healing. At the same time, it is an honest record of the limits of MBSR. Jon quotes lots of evidence from research. This book helped me tremendously to understand the why and how of mindful meditation practice. Ans I love Jon's compassionate and calm way of dealing with pain. Like he says (quoting Alexis Sorbas) in life, we always deal with the "full catastrophe" of it - and it is still possible to laugh and to be centered. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0345536932 | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,957 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #193 in Self-Help for Stress Management #736 in Alternative Medicine #817 in Mental Health | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,222) | | Dimensions | 15.49 x 5.08 x 23.11 cm | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 9780345536938 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0345536938 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 720 pages | | Publication date | 24 September 2013 | | Publisher | Bantam | ## Images ![Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ONmh2goZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 2 October 2016* A classic book on the theory and application of mindfulness backed by years of research and real life application on hundreds of patients at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.

OK its athe abridged version but all of the main points are there and you can rewind. Mindfulless is a fantastic way to veiw and live life and this book along with the 8 week audio programme i also brought gives you a great grounding in what Mindfulness is about without being prescriptive as to what you should get out of it. I listen to this anytime during the day but find when I get into bed is the best time for me . Its surpising how much you do remember and I think it helps me to undertsand because I can hear the words. I do hope Amazon provide a wider range of audio books, as for me it makes reading so much more enjoyable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition): Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness - Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life - Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/742711533-full-catastrophe-living-using-the-wisdom-of-your-body-mind](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/742711533-full-catastrophe-living-using-the-wisdom-of-your-body-mind) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
