Pleasures of the Night

The national bestselling author of Wherever You Go, There You Are, along with his wife, Myla, offer a revised edition of their groundbreaking parenting book.

Updated with new material — including an all new introduction and expanded practices in the epilogue — Everyday Blessings remains one of the few books on parenting that embraces the emotional, intuitive, and deeply personal experience of being a parent, applying the groundbreaking "mind/body connection" expertise from global mindfulness leader, Jon Kabat-Zinn and his wife, Myla Kabat-Zinn.

Mindfulness is a way of living and there is increasing scientific evidence of its value for optimal health and well-being. A new field in psychology is devoted to mindful parenting, and mindfulness is being increasingly integrated into K-twelve education. There has never been a better time for cultivating greater mindfulness in parenting and in family life.

"The pages of this book invite us to discover a way of parenting in the present moment that helps us see our children for who they are and ourselves with greater awareness. . . . [This] book is a treasure." — Nancy Carlsson-Paige, author of Taking Back Childhood: A Proven Roadmap for Raising Confident, Creative, Compassionate Kids.

"The Kabat-Zinns' book is a gift and a blessing, filled with wise counsel for stepping wholeheartedly into the parenting journey." — Susan Stiffelman, author of P arenting without Power Struggles: Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids While Staying Cool, Calm, and Connected
