About this listen

Stress. It is everywhere around us. Even worse, it gets inside us: Sapping our energy, undermining our health, and making us more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and disease. Now, based on Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this groundbreaking audiobook shows you how to use natural, medically proven methods to soothe and heal your body, mind, and spirit. By using the practices described within, you can:

  • Learn to manage chronic pain resulting from illness and/or stress related disorders
  • Discover the roles that anger and tension play in heart disease
  • Reduce anxiety and feelings of panic
  • Improve overall quality of life and relationships through mindfulness meditation and mindful yoga

More timely than ever before, Full Catastrophe Living is an audiobook for the young and the old, the well, the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in today’s world.

Great book - accompanying PDF would be useful

Great content and well structured. Lots of exercises which is easier to follow written down, accompanying PDF would be useful or kindle might be more practical.
