Jon Kabat-Zinn – Attitudes of Mindfulness (Part 1).

Jon Kabat-Zinn – Attitudes of Mindfulness (Part 1).

In this three-part series, the Moonshots Podcast takes a deep dive into the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, the creator of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This foundational framework—The 7 Attitudes of Mindfulness—offers practical, timeless guidance for living with greater awareness, clarity, and emotional intelligence.

Whether you're seeking more presence in your personal life, resilience in your work, or deeper insight into yourself, this series explores how to build those capacities through the simple, yet powerful principles of mindfulness.

Episode 280 – Part 1: Beginner’s Mind, Non-Judging, and Acceptance

In the first episode of the series, Mike and Mark unpack the first three attitudes in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s model. These core concepts help shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the present moment.

1. Beginner’s Mind (Clip: 2m08)
Kabat-Zinn encourages us to approach each moment as if it were new, free from assumptions and past experiences. The idea is to cultivate a fresh, curious perspective—even toward familiar situations. This mindset opens the door to deeper learning, more meaningful relationships, and renewed appreciation for the everyday.

Key insight: When we let go of the belief that we already know, we create space for true discovery.

2. Non-Judging (Clip: 3m35)
Modern life trains us to evaluate everything constantly—our performance, thoughts, feelings, and the world around us. Kabat-Zinn teaches that non-judging is the practice of noticing these thoughts without getting caught up in them. It’s not about suppressing judgment but becoming aware of its automatic nature and choosing not to engage with it.

Key insight: By observing our thoughts without attaching labels, we create the mental freedom to respond instead of react.

3. Acceptance (Clip: 2m46)
Acceptance is often misunderstood as passivity. Kabat-Zinn reframes it as an active engagement with reality. Instead of resisting what is happening, we learn to meet it fully. This doesn’t mean we approve of everything—it means we begin with clarity and honesty, which is the first step toward meaningful change.

Key insight: Acceptance allows us to stop fighting reality and start responding to it with intention.

Why These Attitudes Matter

Beginner’s mind, non-judging, and acceptance form the bedrock of a mindful life. Practiced together, they help reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and improve emotional regulation. These are not abstract ideas—they are habits of attention and perception that anyone can develop.

This episode offers real-world reflections and actionable takeaways to begin integrating mindfulness into your daily routine.

Cal Newport - Deep Work, Minimalism, No Email

In Episode 136 we do a Cal Newport deep dive. Similar to his book Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World which refers to studying for focused chunks of time without distractions such as email and social media.Cal challenges the belief that participation in social media is important for career capital, suggesting instead that career capital is a function of creativity, impact and control, or autonomy. Cal's been an advocate for "digital minimalism" and refers to the role email and chat play in what he calls "the hyperactive hive mind".  Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.

Cal Newport: A World Without Email

Cal Newport: A World Without Email

Cal Newport doesn’t like the distractions of technology. In fact, Newport thinks that our focus on technology and how it dominates modern business is holding us back. His latest book, A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, looks to take a sledgehammer to how technology runs modern enterprise and, ultimately, our lives.  The idea is not to jettison email but to make it smarter. Instead of the back and forth, you get collaborative tools. You don’t even need to be a business owner or work in tech to have some of the messaging resonate with you, and stay with you long after you have finished. A World Without Email invites you to scrutinize how useful these tools are in your lives and reflect on the best practices.
