Publisher's Summary

Foreword by Mark Hyman, MD. Preface by Andrew Huberman, PhD.

You know you should be meditating, so what’s stopping you? This entertaining and enlightening audiobook by the founder of Ziva Meditation - the favorite training for high achievers - will finally take meditation mainstream.

“We meditate to get good at life, not to get good at meditation.” (Emily Fletcher)

In our high-stress, overworked lives, we think the answer to accomplishing more is to do more. But the best advantage we can give ourselves is to take a mental break - to spend a few minutes of the day giving the body and brain rest. Did you know that a brief meditation can offer rest that’s five times deeper than sleep? When you make time to practice the "Z Technique" this audiobook teaches, you’ll actually be more productive than if you took an hour-and-a-half nap or had a cup of coffee.

A leading expert in meditation for high performance, Emily Fletcher has taught meditation at numerous global corporations, including Google, Barclays Bank, and Viacom, to help their employees improve their focus and increase their productivity levels. With Stress Less, Accomplish More, anyone can get the benefits of her 15-minute twice-daily plan. Emily specifically developed the Z Technique for working people with busy lives. Now, you can learn to recharge anywhere, anytime - at home or at your desk. All you need is a few minutes and a chair (no apps, incense, or finger cymbals required).

This is not just another meditation guide. In Stress Less, Accomplish More, Emily teaches a powerful trifecta of mindfulness, meditation, and manifesting to improve your personal and professional performance, clarity, health, and sleep. You’ll learn how to cultivate mindfulness through brief but powerful exercises that will help you stop wasting time stressing. Plus, you’ll get manifesting tools to help you get crystal clear on your personal and professional goals for the future.

Filled with fascinating real-life transformations, interactive exercises, and practical knowledge, Stress Less, Accomplish More introduces you to a revelatory daily practice and shows you how to make it work for your modern life.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Extremely Disappointed!

So I bought this book assuming I would be able to perform this meditation technique when I was done. Through the book I learned Lots about meditation which I already knew, and wasn't given any clear instruction on how to step into this particular meditation technique. Emily did mention several times that I should go to her website and sign up for this and sign up for that. I've never completed a book and actually felt like I got ripped off until now.

Great technique; too much “sales”

It could have been a lot shorter without the continuous sales pitch. I bought in right away, but by the end, I was bored of hearing about why it was awesome over and over again.

still missing the most important part

I love the background information but not enough of how to actually do the mediation. She wrote a book so you will be interested in taking her expensive course. That's not why I bought it so a bit disappointed.

Ziva Meditation

Great book about meditation and the ziva style of meditation. If you want to learn about meditation in general or are intrigued about a different type of meditation, like the "z-technique" then this book is for you. I found myself relistening to chapters to get the technique, but to also learn more about meditation. The author's voice is easy to listen to, she makes some good jokes and her tone is excellent. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get into meditation or who wants meditation to stick as a daily practice.

good book on meditation

Provides an easy and realistic way to meditate for people who have struggled in the past. this is very doable!! But just want to warn you the first 8 chapters are about the benefits of meditation, there’s 1 chapter on how to meditate, then a couple wrap up chapters about more benefits. It kinda felt like an oversell for someone who was already on board with meditation but also i was excited to learn about some potential benefits i didn’t know about. (although some seemed a stretch). Overall a good read. i’m going to refer back to the “how to meditate” chapter again but i don’t need the rest of the book again,

Life Changing

I have never read a more useful book than this one! I've been listening to it on repeat since I downloaded it, there is so much beneficial information and tools to incorporate into your daily routine, without having to make quick and dramatic lifestyle changes to start the practice. All those come effortlessly after you begin the journey. Amazing work by Emily Fletcher.

Grateful I found SLAM:)

I first found Emily online while looking to get a more specific grasp on meditation and what it's all about. After a few YouTube videos and a MindValley class, I couldn't get her voice out of my head and I bought the audiobook, which I'm so thankful for. Emily's clarity and cadence is so nice on the ear drums, and her content is laid out in such a way that demystifies the mystic, and breaks down the actual scientific basis for why meditation WORKS. I'm on week 4 of my daily practice and I can feel the effects. I have made this a non negotiable in my life and have bookmarked the crap out of this one for future reference!
