About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman.

Put yourself back in control of your mind and your life with these meditation practices proven by neuroscientific research.

In this modern digital age, many of us feel overwhelmed, panicked and short on time. The practice of meditation is an ancient and scientifically proven antidote to that frenzied feeling. Combining scientific expertise and spiritual wisdom, this is a practical guide on how it can help you feel calm and in control.

With chapters on Breathing, Compassion and Worry, it is full of empirically proven and easy-to-follow exercises that will help you tackle mental obstacles, including issues such as self-doubt and negative thought patterns. This is a fresh perspective on meditation that will uplift and soothe your mind, whether you're new to it or not.

This is the best instruction on how to meditate I have ever read and I’ve read a lot. It is gentle,compassionate and informative. The exercises are do-able and understandable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who finds there inner world confusing and who wants clarity to deal with their own mind and heart.

I have been trying to meditate for years, and have spent the last few months really upping my effort, reading many books and seeking in person teaching. This book is the clearest introduction that I will be recommending to anyone who says…’so why do you meditate’ or ‘how should I meditate’. It has taken my practice forwards in leaps and bounds.
