A Western approach to mindfulness began in the 1970s with Jon Kabat-Zinn who wrote three game changing books:
(1991) Full Catastrophe Living: Using the wisdom of your body and mind to face stress, pain and illness.
(1994) Wherever you go, there you are – mindfulness meditation for every day life.
(2005) Coming to our senses – healing ourselves and the world through mindfulness.
In the beginning there was Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and then there was Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
(2007) Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, Jon Kabat-Zinn: The Mindful Way through Depression – freeing yourself from chronic unhappiness
2011) Mark Williams, Danny Penman: Mindfulness – a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world.
Running parallel to that line of thought was neurological and evolutionary psychology as promoted by Rick Hanson:
(2009) Buddha’s Brain – the practical neuroscience of happiness love and wisdom
(2013) Hardwiring Happiness – the practical science of reshaping your brain – and your life
