Brilliant book by an obviously brilliant physician author. The first part of the book is an excellent summary of the whole book, and it is chocked full of research on the benefits of meditation, with citations if you'd like further reading. One of the best books on meditation I've ever read.

It was a life-saver for me. No apologies.

This is one of the most important books I’ve ever read. If everyone read it and followed it honestly, human societies would be as perfect as they could possibly be.
What is this book? It’s a guide to relieving stress and negativity by focusing on the present and choosing to interpret incoming data positively.
Sounds simple and sounds like common sense, but everyone knows this is a difficult thing to do in practice. This book gives you the practice. It uses science to explain the parts of the brain and how they affect your thoughts, allowing you to clearly see the processes that trap us in unpleasant situations. It shows you how to control those processes.
The writing is a bit unpolished at times (English is the author’s second language and the book seems to have been published locally). But the structure of the book repeats and reenforces the messages in a pedagogically effective way so that they stick after you put the book down.
If you have suffering in your life, I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

I also went to Dr. Sood's workshop. This is a great book for anyone, whether in the field of psych. or social work, or to help self in terms of higher brain work. Awesome stuff.

Amit Sood's work is unoriginal, uninspiring, and could use some major proof reading - it seems that the name Mayo Clinic is the only thing that promotes his work.
