Story
In Good Morning, I Love You, Dr. Shauna Shapiro brings alive the brain science behind why we feel the way we do - about ourselves, each other, and the world - and explains why we get stuck in thinking that doesn’t serve us. It turns out that we are hardwired to be self-critical and negative! And this negativity is constantly undermining our experience of life.

Story
Ever noticed that trying to calm down often produces more agitation? Or that real fulfillment can be elusive, despite living a successful life? Often, such difficulties stem from the human brain's hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Modern science demonstrates that this survival mechanism served the needs of our earliest ancestors, but is at the root of many problems that we face today, such as depression, compulsive and addictive behaviors, chronic pain, and stress and anxiety.

Publisher's Summary
According to Dr. Shauna Shapiro, mindfulness means paying attention in the present moment with an attitude of kindness and generosity. It involves being aware and doing things with conscious intent. But research shows our mind lives in the past or the future almost half of our waking moments. Focusing on this moment in time, this place, your body as it feels in this moment, your breath as it moves in and out right now....
That focus on present-moment awareness has the capability to transform your life. And it has existed for thousands of years, interwoven throughout many religious and intellectual traditions. Mindfulness as a practice is very simple and its effects are well-documented. What many people don’t realize is the breadth of the science behind it and how much of our health - physical, mental, emotional - is bound up in the way we look at and experience the world. Now, modern biology and neuroscience can actually quantify many of the effects of mindfulness and you may be surprised by how powerful the impact can be.
In Masters of Mindfulness, 11 top researchers and proponents of mindfulness discuss what modern science and contemporary research have revealed about this ancient practice and the many ways in which it can benefit your life. These 22 lectures present a unique and extraordinary opportunity, bringing a diverse group of renowned specialists together in one place for the first time to share their own personal experiences and their latest research, and to guide you through several mindfulness exercises.
Acting as your primary guide through the many concepts and presenters, psychologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Shauna Shapiro brings together some of the greatest minds in the field to give you an immersive, 360-degree experience of mindfulness, its practice, and its benefits.
This course was recorded on location at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, a place that is considered a unique sanctuary for anyone interested in the study of human consciousness and the human potential movement. Since 1962, this profoundly beautiful locale has been a thriving hub for investigating and experiencing the journey of mindfulness in its many forms, including cutting-edge scientific research and applications. Not everyone can hop on a plane to California, so Masters of Mindfulness brings this one-of-a-kind experience to you.

I needed this lecture series, and so do you. <3
Best use of my time in a while. Integrating the mind, and being more aware of ourselves may sound cliche to some, but it is astounding how beneficial it is. This series provides scientific-based findings of how to train yourself in mindfulness, without any of the cringeworthy New Age teachings about becoming a 'higher dimensional being'. Worth two credits at half the length.

Too new-age for me
This is not really a book about the practice of mindfulness. It’s more of a New Age conglomeration of different perspectives related to health and well-being. Not at all what I was expecting. If you’re looking for a book about the practice of mindful meditation, this is not it. This is a new age self-help book.

Eh
I didn’t get a lot out of this class, honestly. The narrators are all fine and well spoken, but I found the material hard to access on a practical level. They’re discussing wellness philosophically, but not much in this course will actually “transform” you, at least not that I’ve found.

Worth it
I really enjoyed most of these lectures! They were eye-opening, scientific, and immediately helpful to me. Admittedly - I was disappointed by a couple speakers (namely the one covering Awe and the following person covering Water). Where previous speakers addressed and resolved sources of error in their studies, the Awe speaker seemed to me to be intellectually incestuous and to have fatally flawed data in more than one way - but he never so much as commented on it. The speaker covering water gave off a debate class vibe. I felt like he was trying to persuade me more than give clear information, and that didn’t align with the rest of the course. If this were to be revamped, I feel it would be beneficial to find a different way/speakers to incorporate the helpfulness of nature in mindfulness. Still overall an excellent course!

not a favorite
This wasn't inspiring for me, I listened to the beginning of at least seven of the chapters but they never seem to keep my interest. I just find that I connect better with other speakers/books.
