At that time, Dr. Kabat-Zinn was the executive director of the Center of Mindfulness in Meditation, Healthcare and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Dr. Kabat-Zinn’s books on mindfulness meditation are best sellers, and he is considered to be one of the foremost authorities in the field. I highly recommend his books and DVDs as a first step into the practice.
