«Mindfulness en la vida cotidiana» is the mindfulness guide by Jon Kabat-Zinn, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Kabat-Zinn, a leading figure in mindfulness-based stress reduction, explains here that the essence of mindfulness is not limited to Buddhist meditation but can be applied to daily life. Against the tendency toward mental automatism, he proposes paying attention to the present moment to live, grow, and relate more consciously, with practices for both those new to meditation and advanced practitioners.
Originally published in English as «Wherever You Go, There You Are», in a Spanish translation by Meritxell Prat Castellà. 2009 edition in the Divulgación collection (volume 256).
For readers interested in meditation, personal development, and stress management, both beginners and those with prior experience.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is an American professor emeritus of medicine and the creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Kabat-Zinn was a student of Zen Buddhist teachers such as Philip Kapleau, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Seung Sahn, and a founding member of Cambridge Zen Center. His practice of hatha yoga, Vipassanā and appreciation of the teachings of Soto Zen and Advaita Vedanta led him to integrate their teachings with scientific findings. He teaches mindfulness, which he says can help people cope with stress, anxiety, pain, and illness. The stress reduction program created by Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), is offered by medical centers, hospitals, and health maintenance organizations, and is described in his book Full Catastrophe Living.
