21 min Jon Kabat- Zinn is today's resource.   Kabat-Zinn is a professor emeritus of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.  He received a Ph.D. in molecular biology for MIT in 1971. He is one of the earlier people in the health field to recognize the adverse effects of stress on health.   His book Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness (1991) leads today's conversation into this resource. Full Catastrophe Living - the title of his book, Pierre claims is the title of his, Pierre's, life.  Maureen mentions how Kabat-Zinn had to prevail with his editor to keep the word "catastrophe" in the book title.  Seems appropriate for these days and our lives.  Kabat-Zinn set up The Center of Mindfulness at Mass.  Winner of all kinds of awards, Kabat-Zinn was a leader in bringing the body into the health equation, and also into mindfulness space.  It's not all in your mind, and the solutions are not all in your mind.  There are complimentary effects in healing the whole person.  Where Ever You Go, There You Are - another title of Kabat-Zinn's.   And here you are!  Reading and listening to this podcast.
