Neuroscience Mindfulness

Cutting-edge studies in neuroscience have in recent years proved what many doctors, therapists and other health professionals had long suspected: simple, repetitive tasks, performed with focus and attention—mindfulness, in other words—can not only quieten our noisy thought processes and help us relax, but also improve our outlook on life and protect us against a range of life-threatening illnesses.

The beautiful thing about mindfulness is that everything can become mindfulness practice...literally everything. Whatever you do mindfully, with presence and awareness of what you are doing, you are practicing mindfulness. If you have ever wondered what the mysterious words "mindfulness" means and why would anyone bother, you have just found your (detailed) answer! This audiobook will provide you with actionable steps and valuable information, all in plain English, so all your doubts will be soon gone.

It’s hard to have ADHD in a world not built for our brains. It can leave us feeling discouraged, like we’re always getting in our own way. Like we can never quite have the life we want.

As a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who also spent time training to be a monk, he draws on both modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom to help you understand and harness your ADHD brain.
