Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and related modalities have generated a large and ever growing literature over the past thirty years. In addition to decades of published research, we can now access a wealth of articles in the popular press, numerous websites and blogs, and a widely read magazine devoted to mindfulness. Centers of mindfulness-related research exist in universities all over the US and abroad. An internet search of “mindfulness-based stress reduction” yields over 750,000 results. Scholarly research on MBSR yields over 45,000 results.
