“There have been a growing number of books written on mindfulness meditation over the last few years, a number of which grace my bookcase at home. What new insights would this book offer that the others hadn’t already covered I wondered?

What I liked about ‘Meditate On This’ was how the three co-authors present a compelling and eminently readable case for how mindfulness meditation changes the brain and facilitates positive change in the areas of happiness, health, relationships and performance. The data is skillfully presented ensuring it’s readily understandable for the layperson, while still meaty enough for the academic seeking evidence of the research.

The book is an invitation to explore and implement a mindfulness meditation practice. It seeks to explain the why rather than the how and proffers no judgment on which type or form of meditation is best, leaving that decision open for the reader to decide.

If you’re uncertain whether mindfulness meditation is for you, this book outlines the potential benefits as validated by the science for the multiple facets of our lives; whether you seek to be a more effective learner, to restore greater balance to your life, be more attentive, creative or to live longer and more healthily.

The key message is practice leads to progress, which in the case of meditation is so very true.

I loved this book.”
