Whether you’re new to meditation， a long-time meditator， or just meditation-curious， this book will provide practical guidance and insight from two seasoned experts。 Daniel Goleman， author of Emotional Intelligence and Altered Traits， is well-versed in how our brains work according to current scientific literature。 Co-author Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a long-time meditation master in the Drukpa Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism。 Besides being one of Goleman’s meditation teachers， he has taught thousa Whether you’re new to meditation， a long-time meditator， or just meditation-curious， this book will provide practical guidance and insight from two seasoned experts。 Daniel Goleman， author of Emotional Intelligence and Altered Traits， is well-versed in how our brains work according to current scientific literature。 Co-author Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a long-time meditation master in the Drukpa Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism。 Besides being one of Goleman’s meditation teachers， he has taught thousands of students around the globe how to meditate over the past twenty-five years （I have had the good fortune to be one of them）。Using simple， relatable language and engaging metaphors， Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Daniel Goleman provide alternating complementary perspectives on a variety of easy-to-learn meditation techniques and how and why they work。 From dropping our metaphorical baggage - all the stuff of daily life that can cause us stress - to cultivating greater love and compassion for others， the book offers valuable guidance grounded in both ancient wisdom and the latest science。 The combination of the broad knowledge of scientific literature that Goleman brings works very well alongside Rinpoche’s extraordinary understanding of the modern mind and how to move us all towards more clarity and more compassion for ourselves and others。 Highly recommended！ You can also check out Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s self-paced online course， Fully Being， at https://fullybeing。org/。 。。。more

Not a big fan of the structure。 A bit fragmented。

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
