Can Mindfulness Transform the World? - Jon Kabat-Zinn

In conversation with Lion’s Roar editor-in-chief Melvin McLeod, Jon Kabat-Zinn shares how compassion and mindfulness transform not only us as individuals, but by extension, the world. By embodying warmth and non-judgment, he explains, we transcend can dualistic thinking and connect deeply with ourselves and others. This is an excerpt from our free series of three in-depth dialogues with Jon Kabat-Zinn, the creator of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and a pioneer in the modern mindfulness movement.
