Summary
In simple and straightforward language, Bhante Gunaratana shares the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness and how we can use these principles to improve our daily lives, deepen our mindfulness, and move closer to our spiritual goals. Based on the classic Satipatthana Sutta, one of the most succinct yet rich explanations of meditation, Bhante's presentation is nonetheless thoroughly modern. The Satipatthana Sutta has become the basis of all mindfulness meditation, and Bhante unveils it to the listener in his trademark "plain English" style. Contemplating the Four Foundations of Mindfulness - mindfulness of the body, of feelings, of the mind, and of phenomena themselves - is recommended for all practitioners. Newcomers will find The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English lays a strong groundwork for mindfulness practice and gives them all they need to get started right away, and old hands will find rich subtleties and insights to help consolidate and clarify what they may have begun to see for themselves. People at every state of the spiritual path will benefit from listening to this book.

Excellent summary covering satipattana sutta
Clear, helpful and easy to listen to.
The context is the satipattana sutta, foundations of mindfulness. Very handy in that context, for mindfulness of body, emotions, thoughts, conditions.
Also, I found it useful for qigong.

Straight forward guide...
A non fluffy no nonsense guide to mindfulness, suited to those who want to hear the hardcore facts of what it is and isn't. Thank you for the time and effort put into this

Complex and hard going
I really struggled with this audio book, perhaps it would be better in paper.
I feel that if this was my first exposure to mindfulness I wouldn't bother. There is lots of theory and details of the Buddhist way, but I wanted more practical assistance in what and how to do mindfulness.
it's possible that this book wasn't right for me and what I wanted from it. I do not believe that the material was very accessible.
I definitely got the feeling that the key is to believe everything is impermanent and therefore, do not waste your time and energy on it, this appears to be a mantra throughout.
