Mindfulness without Mysticism
You don’t have to believe in mindfulness meditation for it to work. Like any good technology, mindfulness will do the job reliably whether you believe in it or not. And mindfulness IS a kind of technology for hacking the human wetware in order to improve your life. This book is a practical, hands-on manual about how to make the most of that technology for yourself.
If you are smart, rational, science-y, and have a desire to see what meditation is really all about, this book is for you.
