The Mindful Athlete: Second Edition

“George Mumford has written a fantastic book—inspiring, funny, and insightful. I’m amongst the people who have urged George for years to write a book, and I couldn’t be happier for him, and all of us who get to read it and reread it. Qualities like mindfulness, concentration, trust and the forging of a team spirit really come alive.”
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness and Real Happiness at Work

“A truly valuable, unique, and inspiring door into the cultivation of mind/body unity and purpose. George’s love of basketball and of life comes through on every page and shapes his remarkable story and the enormous impact he has had at the highest levels of The Game. But George’s real message here is that anybody can cultivate mindfulness through on-going practice, fine-tune his or her way of being, and thus, take care of what most needs taking care of and do what most needs to be done.”
—Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Mindfulness for Beginners
