Description
An Essential Addition to Mindfulness Literature
Who among us does not want to discern right from wrong and useful from useless in any situation?
Thirty years ago—long before the modern mindfulness movement—Eric Harrison began teaching meditation as a secular, science-based therapy. Paradoxically, he rooted his practice in the Buddha’s original teaching: the Satipatthana Sutta.
The 13 steps in the Sutta offer readers the full benefits of mindfulness: attention, good judgment, and tranquility. Now—informed by a lifetime spent teaching tens of thousands to meditate—Harrison offers both a new translation of the Sutta (the first in modern English) and lucid guidance on how to apply it today.

A Note From the Publisher
ERIC HARRISON began teaching meditation as a secular, science-based therapy decades ago—long before the modern mindfulness movement began—and for the last 30 years has taught tens of thousands of students, including at the meditation center he founded in Perth, Australia. His six prior books on meditation and mindfulness have been translated into 13 languages and published in 15 countries.
Advance Praise
“For people seriously interested in mindfulness, this is a step-by step explanation of the Buddha’s original teachings on the subject, considered wholly (and paradoxically) from a secular, non-Buddhist perspective.”—Publishers Weekly
