His books are published in over 45 languages. His work over the decades has contributed to a growing movement of mindfulness into mainstream institutions such as medicine, psychology, health care, neuroscience, schools, higher education, business, social justice, criminal justice, prisons, the law, technology, government, and professional sports. Over 700 hospitals and medical centers around the world now offer MBSR. Jon lectures and leads mindfulness workshops and retreats around the world and online.
In the Spring of 2020, at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, he offered 66 consecutive weekdays of 90-minute online guided meditations, talks, and dialogue, the so-called mitigation retreat.
