First half is an auto biography. Second half gets in to the meat and potatoes of mindfulness etc but, IMO, I never felt the author was genuine about the journey. Worth the free credit just hang in there until it gets relevant.

mixed feelings on this one

I picked this up in a friend's recommendation. I have ADHD and have been trying to get into meditation as a way to better regulate my overactive mind. Problem is that many of the most well regarded works on the practice discuss it from either a heavily spiritual angle (which I'm not interested in) or from a more "clinical" perspective. My friend described this book more as "learning meditation for the everyman" so I decided to give it a go.

This is definitely more memoire than I'd prefer but it does a good job of laying the groundwork for why the author felt he needed meditation and also quantifying the improvements it brought to his life. He began his experience with the practice as a super skeptic but starts to come around, eventually ending up as a huge advocate for it. And he does so in a way that's much more relatable for the average person, even if he's in a career reserved for only a select few.

I think some may find his presentation a bit grating. I did at first but eventually grew to enjoy it. The book has a lot of humour in it and though is does dive deep on it's subjects and discuss personally dark times with the author, it's presented in a comic tone that I really appreciate. He references Sam Harris in the book, who is a famous meditation advocate. I actually tried his Waking Up app and just couldn't get things to stick with me. I think applying the methods taught in this will present me with greater success.

I dislike most self-help books but this doesn't really come across as one. It's more an autobiographical journey into meditation, not explicitly telling you how to meditate, just relaying what worked for him in en engaging way. I will say that the guided meditations offered at the end are not great and you can find much better ones either on YouTube or a free app like Insight Timer.

Meditation Talked About In Real Language

This was an excellent book - great for anyone who struggles with the idea of meditation. I personally am already a big fan of meditation, so there was a lot Dan's stories that didn't resonate with me, but it was still thoroughly entertaining as well as enlightening to what goes through other people's minds when they scoff at the practice. Even for an avid meditator, this is an excellent reminder why we need to continue doing it, as well as a few great points on how to share your practice with those around you without getting dismissed or laughed out of the room.

Overall Great
