In this new online program, StreetSmart Wisdom: Mindfulness In The Digital Age, Jon Kabat-Zinn, scientist, author, and Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Steve Stein, Publisher at BetterListen/WisdomFeed, discuss the ever-growing importance of mindful living in the 21st century.

This StreetSmart Conversation features two native streetwise New Yorkers in a far-ranging informal conversation that touches on topics as diverse as:

• A Digital Sabbath
• What does it even mean for any of us to “do the right thing?”
• The Science of Mindfulness
• Mindful Parenting
• Coping with nitty gritty everyday challenges to living mindfully in this world of perpetual digital distraction.

Toward the end, Jon leads the viewer in a 10 minute guided mindfulness practice.

To that end, Jon and WisdomFeed are donating a significant portion of the revenue from every sale of this program to support the Sangha & Diversity Initiative of the New York Insight Meditation Center (NYInsight), a project dedicated to undoing racism and creating a truly inclusive Community.

Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, is internationally known for his work as a scientist, writer, and mindfulness meditation teacher engaged in bringing mindfulness practices, especially mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), into the mainstream of medicine and society. He is professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he was founding executive director of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society, and founder (in 1979) and former director of its world-renowned Stress Reduction Clinic. Prominently featured in the Bill Moyer’s PBS special Healing and the Mind in 1993, the clinic and its research has continually demonstrated that most participants in its programs achieve long-lasting improvements in both physical and psychological symptoms, as well as major positive changes in health attitudes and behaviors. More than 200 medical institutions nationwide and abroad now use the clinic’s mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) model to teach mindfulness meditation.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is author of Full Catastrophe Living; Wherever You Go, There You Are; Coming to Our Senses and Letting Everything Become Your Teacher among other titles. He is also coauthor, with his wife Myla, of Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting.
