Prof. Jon Kabat-Zinn 

Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

For decades, Jon Kabat-Zinn has been an exponent of bringing the ancient Buddhist meditation practice known as mindfulness (in its most universal articulations as both a formal meditative discipline and as a way of being) into the mainstream of medicine, health care, science, and beyond — not merely for individuals, but as an effective way to heal and transform the world.
