Even though it doesn't make sense to rush thru a book about mediation, I read this quickly because I enjoyed it。 I'll re-read it to get the nuances and put what is suggested into practice。 With well-known authors, and good writing, this will sell well。I really appreciate the free ARC for review!!

I am an experienced and intermittent meditator and I found this book immensely helpful with my current practice。 The well-known authors offer a well-balanced array of essays and practical suggestions that are a perfect balance of science and stories/examples from their own lives and practices。 This is a good book for new as well as experienced meditators。 Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review。
