Open Mbsr - Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness

A Community-Centric Framework for Learning, Teaching, and Sharing Mindfulness

In Open MBSR: Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness, author Mo Edjlali charts a bold new path for mindfulness-based stress reduction.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Clear-eyed critique of the challenges facing contemporary mindfulness
• Framework bridging neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice with secular clarity
