Wife: Myla Her parents: Roslyn and Howard Zinn Children:Will, Naushon, Serena His parents: Sally and Elvin Kabat Source: Gesund durch Meditation (page:330 and 331) german translation of Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness. I do not know the pages there, but should be in a cheapter Thanks or something like this. -- Cyrus Grisham 17:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
The article is pretty good about sticking to facts, but some sweeping statements such as about his contribution to health care are credulous and uncited. Article should include controversies about his beliefs or link to them. Personally, I know a physician who explained how Zinn had portrayed research as supporting mindfulness by misrepresenting the results (it was not the primary condition, there were other interventions that probably explained the results). But that's just gossip. My concern is that, while meditation has its virtues, it is over-hyped as a medical treatment. I am not a knee-jerk skeptic, by the way, I meditate and have training in Vipassana and Zen. Robert A. Yourell —Preceding undated comment added 03:19, 30 January 2011 (UTC).
In his book, Wherever You Go.... Jon says he is the oldest son in his family. Unless he is being uncharacteristically "cute" he could not be the oldest son, presumably of 2 or more brothers, and also be the youngest child in the family as this site states. I do not know how to resolve this but perhaps someone else who reads this can do that. [1]

Based on what is written in the article, it seems like he might have created his current surname by adding his wife's surname to his own, while his wife apparently retained her birth name. It's confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.167.196 ( talk) 15:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
"Based on what is written in the article", there is no confusion. The man whose name today is Jon Kabat-Zinn, in the past met and married a woman whose name when they met and married was Myla Zinn. There is no indication in the article that her name today is Myla Zinn. [1]Later, after he married her, they were both Kabat-Zinn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.143.24 ( talk) 21:07, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

The previous version of this article included the fragment: "A more recent paper[7]..." Not sure what to make of that, so I removed the fragment for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.108.145.40 ( talk) 13:37, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm thinking of adding a citation needed to the claim that Jon Kabat-Zinn studied with Thich Nhat Hanh. I don't mean this as a criticism or either of the two, but Jon Kabat-Zinn speaks about his Zen teachers, and I can't find a source wherein he mentions studying with Thich Nhat Hanh. I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to one. Thehittite ( talk) 23:35, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
