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.

MO EDJLALI is a mindfulness innovator, technology entrepreneur, and founder/CEO of Mindful Leader, the world’s leading provider of MBSR training. With 25+ years cross-industry experience spanning NASA, FICO, and Accenture, he has pioneered workplace mindfulness integration globally, certifying over 550 facilitators and creating Meditate Together, the largest meditation community of practice platform.
