Summary
According to Dr. Shauna Shapiro, mindfulness means paying attention in the present moment with an attitude of kindness and generosity. It involves being aware and doing things with conscious intent. But research shows our mind lives in the past or the future almost half of our waking moments. Focusing on this moment in time, this place, your body as it feels in this moment, your breath as it moves in and out right now....
That focus on present-moment awareness has the capability to transform your life. And it has existed for thousands of years, interwoven throughout many religious and intellectual traditions. Mindfulness as a practice is very simple and its effects are well-documented. What many people don’t realize is the breadth of the science behind it and how much of our health - physical, mental, emotional - is bound up in the way we look at and experience the world. Now, modern biology and neuroscience can actually quantify many of the effects of mindfulness and you may be surprised by how powerful the impact can be.
In Masters of Mindfulness, 11 top researchers and proponents of mindfulness discuss what modern science and contemporary research have revealed about this ancient practice and the many ways in which it can benefit your life. These 22 lectures present a unique and extraordinary opportunity, bringing a diverse group of renowned specialists together in one place for the first time to share their own personal experiences and their latest research, and to guide you through several mindfulness exercises.
Acting as your primary guide through the many concepts and presenters, psychologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Shauna Shapiro brings together some of the greatest minds in the field to give you an immersive, 360-degree experience of mindfulness, its practice, and its benefits.
This course was recorded on location at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, a place that is considered a unique sanctuary for anyone interested in the study of human consciousness and the human potential movement. Since 1962, this profoundly beautiful locale has been a thriving hub for investigating and experiencing the journey of mindfulness in its many forms, including cutting-edge scientific research and applications. Not everyone can hop on a plane to California, so Masters of Mindfulness brings this one-of-a-kind experience to you.

Stars off well
The first few chapters are interesting, but the last few are really dull. The person speaking reads well though and is soothing.

Amazing book.
I can't even tell how grateful I am to all people who participated in writing this book.
I feel the life with every cell in my body, my mind is clear and I can see the path.
Thank you!

diverse, intelligent, informative, accessible
5 stars because it offers a fair level of information that is very satisfyingly backed by research and/or experience. I did not find everything enthralling but through listening I was returned to things I knew and introduced to things that are new to me. The quality of content was enough to keep me engaged without undue effort yet it prompted me to re-listen to certain segments and look up books I might not otherwise have come across.

Disappointing seemingly random group of speakers
This was my 4th The Great Courses book and by far the worst. If felt like a random collection of speakers; some quite interesting but others with nothing of particular interest to say. There was a lot of promoting their own websites and ideas, and a regurgitation of several urban myths that have been doing the rounds for many years. I have studied meditation in Thailand, but I am far from an expert. However, this course taught me nothing and give me no new ideas. The other Great Courses have been amazing, insightful and I have learnt so much. But not this one. My advice is do not waste your time with this, and find another book on Mindfulness.

Boring
I read many books about mindfulness- this one was one of the most boring I am afraid, especially initial and final chapters.

A lot of psychobabble
The guided meditations are good, but the course ends with very complicated theorizing and much rambling on about possibilities of mindfulness. Found the later lectures hard to get through.
