Description



Book Synopsis



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. Building on Jon Kabat-Zinn's foundational work, this book addresses the systemic challenges undermining mindfulness today, from power concentration and Buddhist entanglement to rigid frameworks and one-dimensional thinking.

Drawing from diverse sources including, the Agile Methodology, Quaker traditions and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Edjlali offers a transformative framework built on open collaboration, collective wisdom, and genuine secular integrity.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Clear-eyed critique of the challenges facing contemporary mindfulness
  • Framework bridging neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice with secular clarity
  • Practical strategies for adapting mindfulness programs across diverse settings and populations
  • Open-source principles for collaborative learning and community-driven development
Written for meditation teachers, mindfulness program administrators, and wellness professionals, Open MBSR provides a unifying and adaptable framework for evolving mindfulness teachings and practices to meet contemporary needs.



From the Back Cover



Praise for OPEN MBSR

"Open MBSR provides a radical vision of how mindfulness training can grow and evolve. It addresses many of the problems and shortcomings of current approaches and lays out a pathway for how the teaching of mindfulness can become as open, flexible, and curious as the practice of it. A must for any professional who teaches mindfulness or incorporates it into their work."
--KRISTIN NEFF, PhD, Co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and author of Self-Compassion and The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook

"Open MBSR is the kind of book the mindfulness field has long needed. With clarity and compassion, Mo Edjlali peels back the layers of dogma, spiritual gloss, and institutional rigidity to reveal a practice that is accessible, grounded, and deeply human. This book doesn't just refine MBSR -- it unbinds it."
--MARC BRACKETT, PhD, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling

"Open MBSR is sure to engage our critical thinking, helping us to examine MBSR in entirely new ways, and to further the development of the mindfulness field towards more transparency and collective wisdom."
--DIANA WINSTON, Director of UCLA Mindful, and author of The Little Book of Being and Fully Present
