Qu sucede en nuestra mente cuando prestamos atenci n? Por qu nos referimos al mindfulness como un estado de ser? Desde una perspectiva cient fica, c mo explicar los beneficios de las tradiciones contemplativas? En este apasionante libro, John Teasdale explora los cambios que experimentamos gracias a las pr cticas meditativas. Teasdale analiza el mindfulness y el despertar interior a la luz de la ciencia psicol gica. El libro incide en los dos tipos de conocimiento desarrollados por los seres humanos: conceptual y hol stico. Si bien el primero, orientado a la resoluci n de problemas o la consecuci n de objetivos, es el que predomina en la sociedad actual, otorgar m s peso al conocimiento hol stico-intuitivo puede conducir a una mayor plenitud y felicidad. De hecho, un salto radical en la relaci n entre estas dos modalidades de conocimiento es fundamental tanto para los protocolos de mindfulness como para el despertar interior propugnado por numerosas tradiciones espirituales. What happens in our mind when we start to pay close attention? Why do we refer to mindfulness as a state of being? From a scientific perspective, how do we explain the benefits of contemplation? In this exciting book, John Teasdale explores the changes we experience through meditative practices. He discusses mindfulness and inner awakening through the lens of psychological science. The book focuses on the two types of knowledge developed by human beings: conceptual and holistic. Although the former, oriented to solving problems, is the predominate one today, giving more weight to holistic-intuitive knowledge can lead to greater fulfillment and happiness. In fact, a radical leap in the relationship between these two modalities of knowing is essential both for mindfulness protocols and for the inner awakening advocated by numerous spiritual traditions.

Well known for applying mindfulness to the treatment of depression, pioneering researcher John Teasdale now explores the broader changes that people can experience through contemplative practices. What goes on in our minds when we are mindful? What does it mean to talk of mindfulness as a way of being? From a scientific perspective, how do core elements of contemplative traditions have their beneficial effects? Teasdale describes two types of knowing that human beings have evolved--conceptual and holistic–intuitive--and shows how mindfulness can achieve a healthier balance between them. He masterfully describes the mechanisms by which this shift in consciousness not only can reduce emotional suffering, but also can lead to greater joy and compassion and a transformed sense of self.

If you’ve ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to “think” our way out of a bad mood or just “snap out of it” lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life’s challenges with greater resilience. Jon Kabat-Zinn gently and encouragingly narrates the accompanying CD of guided meditations (also available as free audio downloads for purchasers), making this a complete package for anyone seeking to regain a sense of hope and well-being.
