Please! Stop slating the president! Jesus Christ how can you claim to be for democracy and then complain when it doesnβt go your way? Hypocrisy left right and centre.

I suffer from anxiety…..and I am currently following mindfulness as a treatment for anxiety…yes it is hard at first, there is alot to learn, in changing your way of thinking… but the rewards are well worth it….my anxiety has lessened, and. I am not taking any medications…..one of my homework projects was to listen to Mr. Kabat speech…..I continue to stay in the present, feel what I am experienceing, and letting go…..my mind is less focused on myself and find my safe zone. once I am back in the present I move on the reaction to exhibit or not.. in situations which I may find difficult to control my emotions…..three steps…. STOP, BREATH, THINK. remain in the present clear the mind….let go of the baggage.
The comments on the election was unnecessary and distasteful.
Action for Happiness always presents amazing lectures. It has inspired me to create my YouTube channel. Great video!
Really, Dude? You had to bring divisive politics into your talk at the very beginning? You are alienating half of your audience at the outset.
I've followed & respected Jon Kabat-Zinn since the mid 1980's. I've taken several MSRB classes & taught it to patients. I find it so destructive when meditation teachers like him & Tara Brach bring politics into their lectures & classes. Particularly when they suggest that Trump is a threat to democracy. They ignore the fact that their demi God Barack Obama weaponized intel operations against his political opponents & used the IRS & DOJ to politically target people who opposed him.
Interesting … you canβt be conservative and mindful? Judging groups fits into the mindfulness-ness? Is the process of influencing groups fit into being mindful? Iβm not judging or criticizing … just asking.
Whenever theres a disease, theres a cure.
Not for happiness but for Arya wisdom because wisdom is forever, happiness is just a plus only when the mind is free from defelaments.
Jon, why do you have to bring your socialist political ideology into mindfulness. I believe in the original Constitution of the USA, especially the Bill of Rights, improved as it has been over the years for all races to be treated the same. What you implicitly support by bashing those of us who support President Trump is the Obama / Clinton continued destruction of capitalism. Stop it already. We are here together to study mindfulness, not your many-times-failed political ideology. Mindfulness is not about politics
I wish this could be taught in our Scottish schools…This gentleman has so much wisdom and insight into the human condition…
How much we could say 'No' to many negative habits or even live with them…
Another great video…!!!
Thank you Sir

Never trust a man who takes his wife's maiden name. What a cuckleberry finn
Thank you! Compassion for ourselves and compassion for others, including the science haters and racists adopting the full-throttle insanity of Trumpism.
When Stephen Hawking said Trump appeals to the lowest common denominator, I think he was referring to the fact that his supporters are voting based on fear. This is how and why they vote their fears into office.
Trump votersThey are not deplorables. They are people whose lives have been devastated by neoliberalism and don't know there are other options.
John Kabat-Zinn has helped me realise mindfulness. I cannot thank him enough for his advice.
Superb
