The Science of Mindfulness: A Research-Based Path to Well-Being was a fairly practical and great introduction but also left me wanting to learn more about various topics it touched on. This led me on a path of learning about buddhism and secular buddhist psychology and philosophy in particular (After Buddhism: Rethinking the Dharma for a Secular Age ), its intersection with neuroscience, consciousness, determinism etc. Another direction that I found myself wanting to explore more was the research and what types of meditation would be beneficial and this was the right book for that. It discussed numerous studies and the state of meditation research at the time the book was written. Like others have mentioned it's also very heavy on the history of the two authors and their research & meditation practices, I too think there could have been a little bit less of that but for the most part it still kept my interest. Some parts like the anecdote about the tibetan monks laughing at them for measuring brain activity during metta meditation and the explanation felt like it went a little overboard but overall the material was interesting and presented in a fairly balanced way. My main takeaways were that the current research findings focus mainly on mindfulness, vipassana, transcendental meditation and a bit of zen (probably in order of significance of findings). Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has also been studied quite a bit while my impression was that the evidence on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) isn't quite at the same level yet. There were also some interesting results cited regarding loving kindness (metta) meditation and how it seems to have unique and fast effects. The suggested importance of retreats has also gotten me more interested in attending those. What was a bit demotivating is how the research seems to suggest short daily meditation might have limited effects and that the most profound changes come after tens of thousands of lifetime hours meditating. On the other hand I'm already finding the practice beneficial for myself so I can also see it as motivating that even more awaits...
