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！！ 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！！ 。。。more

Many know of Daniel Goleman for his writings on emotional intelligence。 With that credential， he seems to me to be the perfect guide to learning more about and understanding meditation。Meditation seems in some ways to be a deceptively simple practice but it is actually complex。 Daniel Goleman will help readers to understand how this Eastern practice can help us in our world that is， at times， filled with the negative。There is lots of advice in this book。 This is a case where the advice is profes Many know of Daniel Goleman for his writings on emotional intelligence。 With that credential， he seems to me to be the perfect guide to learning more about and understanding meditation。Meditation seems in some ways to be a deceptively simple practice but it is actually complex。 Daniel Goleman will help readers to understand how this Eastern practice can help us in our world that is， at times， filled with the negative。There is lots of advice in this book。 This is a case where the advice is professional and based upon neuroscience。 It will help those who pick it up to let go of some negative influences on their lives。I think that both those who already practice mindfulness and/or meditation will find much to contemplate in this excellent guide。 A few of the chapter titles include What This Book Offers You， Beautiful Monsters， and Calm and Clear。 Definitely worth a read。Note that Goleman’s co-author is a well known teacher of Buddhist meditation。 He offers the practice and Goleman the science; a terrific collaboration in a book that is full of things to try。Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for this title。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

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。
