"The revised and updated edition of the original source for 'mindful parenting' gives us new guidance to create the life of love our children deserve." —Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., New York Times– bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child

The national bestselling author of Wherever You Go, There You Are, along with his wife, Myla, offer a revised edition of their groundbreaking parenting book.

Updated with new material — including an all new introduction and expanded practices in the epilogue — Everyday Blessings remains one of the few books on parenting that embraces the emotional, intuitive, and deeply personal experience of being a parent, applying the groundbreaking "mind/body connection" expertise from global mindfulness leader, Jon Kabat-Zinn and his wife, Myla Kabat-Zinn.

Mindfulness is a way of living and there is increasing scientific evidence of its value for optimal health and well-being. A new field in psychology is devoted to mindful parenting, and mindfulness is being increasingly integrated into K-twelve education. There has never been a better time for cultivating greater mindfulness in parenting and in family life.

"The pages of this book invite us to discover a way of parenting in the present moment that helps us see our children for who they are and ourselves with greater awareness. . . . [This] book is a treasure." — Nancy Carlsson-Paige, author of Taking Back Childhood: A Proven Roadmap for Raising Confident, Creative, Compassionate Kids.

"The Kabat-Zinns' book is a gift and a blessing, filled with wise counsel for stepping wholeheartedly into the parenting journey." — Susan Stiffelman, author of P arenting without Power Struggles: Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids While Staying Cool, Calm, and Connected
