In 'Conscious Parents, Happy Children,' Jon Kabat-Zinn and Myla Kabat-Zinn share their vision of parenthood as a path of inner growth for parents. Based on their experience as parents and educators in mindfulness, they offer a guide to building a conscious parenting model. This book invites parents to cultivate mindfulness in family life, promoting emotional intelligence and more harmonious relationships. Daniel Goleman, author of 'Emotional Intelligence,' describes it as 'a manual of emotional intelligence for parents.'
Jon Kabat-Zinn is an American professor emeritus of medicine and the creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Kabat-Zinn was a student of Zen Buddhist teachers such as Philip Kapleau, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Seung Sahn, and a founding member of Cambridge Zen Center. His practice of hatha yoga, Vipassanā and appreciation of the teachings of Soto Zen and Advaita Vedanta led him to integrate their teachings with scientific findings. He teaches mindfulness, which he says can help people cope with stress, anxiety, pain, and illness. The stress reduction program created by Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), is offered by medical centers, hospitals, and health maintenance organizations, and is described in his book Full Catastrophe Living.
