two on mindfulness

I am on the lookout for succinct, helpful explanations about mindfulness.  I came across these two today.  A J Jacobs has some fairly light-hearted books on trying to perform Biblical living as specified therein, reach physical perfection and know what is in all the main books.  His description of watching over one's mind is very much on target.

Eckhart Tolle is renown as a Western teacher of mindfulness.  He has recently added more references to Eastern sources and practices but this little clip from his online course with Oprah talks about mindfulness simply and powerfully.
