Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This refreshing book is yet another sign that the next generation of Buddhism is creative, cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary. Born in 1975 in Nepal, the author is among the generation of Tibetan lamas trained outside of Tibet, and he's also a gifted meditator. His brain activity has been measured during meditation, earning him the enviable sobriquet of "happiest man on earth." He fuses scientific and spiritual considerations, explaining meditation as a physical as well as a spiritual process. Mingyur Rinpoche knows from experience that meditation can change the brain. He experienced panic attacks as a child that he was able to overcome through intensive meditation. If diligently practiced, meditation can affect the "neuronal gossip"—his imaginative rendering of brain cell communication—that keeps us stuck in unhappy behaviors. The meditation master offers a wide variety of techniques, counseling ease in practice to avoid boredom or aversion. Less is more; practice shorter periods more often, he says. His approach will be especially welcome for anyone frustrated by meditation or convinced they're "not doing it right." This book is a fresh breath from the meditation room, written with kindness, energy and wit. Three cheers for a cheerful contemplative. (Mar. 6)

Whether youre a veteran of the practice of meditation or a newcomer debating whether to give it a try, this book has much to offer. The abridgment offers a straightforward and down-to-earth discussion of the benefits and techniques of meditation, and may encourage you to listen to the full text. Jason Scott Campbells conversational tone is easy to listen to and to follow. He presents the text with conviction, and his style of delivery enhances the accessibility of these teachings. The set is filled with background information on meditation and practical tips on sitting and going with the flow of thoughts during the act of meditating.
