8 Minute Meditation: Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life. [Paperback]

Victor Davich (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 6, 2004

In recent years, mainstream Americans have begun to come around to meditation in a big way-and scientific studies are suggesting that the physical and mental benefits are solid and real. But to many, it remains something mystical and inaccessible...and spiritually-oriented tomes on the market don't do much to make it easier.

As interest in meditation continues to grow, this book offers a simple, no-nonsense program to help beginners experience reduced stress and increased focus in only eight minutes a day. Designed by meditation expert and bestselling author Victor Davich, this program teaches the basic principles of meditation while clearing up the misconceptions and myths that too often get in the way.

More About the Author

If there is a Guinness World Record for "Most Attorneys Taught Stress Reduction in One Room," I probably set it when I taught 400 lawyers to meditate in the Grand Ballroom of the Westin Palm Springs.

My practice of meditation began by accident and for practical, not spiritual reasons: I was a stressed-out "One-L"--a first year law student in New York looking for a medication-free way to stay calm and focus on an incredible caseload. I began to meditate and the results were amazing: My grades got better--and I got calmer. win-win all the way.

I continued to meditate throughout a highly successful--and high-pressure--career as an attorney and producer for major corporations like Young & Rubicam, Paramount Pictures and Universal-TV. But little did I realize that my business and meditation experience would result in my creating 8 Minute Meditation, the program TIME magazine calls "The most American form of meditation yet."

My goal for 8 Minute Meditation was to provide anybody with a simple program that could lower stress,increase focus--and change their lives. Now in it's 10th printing, the book is a perennial Amazon bestseller and my Guided Meditation CD (available at CDbaby.com)is also very popular. 8 Minute Meditation has helped over 100,000 people transform their lives.

In 2010, in response to many requests for an 8 Minute Meditation program that would specifically address stress, I created 8 Minute Stress Relief. It's a brand-new 8 Minute Meditation program specifically geared to empower people to reduce their stress level, on the spot, wherever they are.

And oh yeah, why the pic of me in the funny hat? 'Cause I love fly-fishing! The greatest meditation there is. This was me at Henry's Fork, Idaho, catching rainbow trout---and of course, releasing them :)
