Get some headspace
Andy Puddicombe is the star that shines above the blue skies.
If you are having trouble with depression, or trouble sleeping, this could be your answer.
Andy has a personality and a way with words that helps you to understand although the bad stuff will always be there, it doesn't have to control youf life.
Andy uses his own life's exleriences to walk you through mindfulness.
His journey as a trainee monk takes you gently with him on his learning path as he seeks to quieten his mind and come to terms with past experiences.
Andy does not preach, he doesn't say you have to do this or that, he explains using analogies and stories how to manage feelings of depression and says there will be relapses but using mindfulness, these can be dealt with.
Each to their own; for me, Andy seems to make sense. He is not pretentious and is easy to listen to. I'm glad I found him.

A good no-nonsense guide to meditation
No new-age mumbo-jumbo. Good, straightforward advice and instruction on how to meditate and how to be mindful. I'm now a daily meditator and it's made a world of difference.

Good introduction to meditation
This audiobook provides an excellent non-mystical basis for meditation, more akin to helping your outlook on life and helping in specific areas (sleep, eating etc). A number of interesting anecdotes along the way too.

Headspace Ace
This audio book has been a revelation. I listened to it at a time when I was deeply distressed and it really made a difference. Developing mindfulness is an essential life skill and I'm sure in some cases a life saver!

where is the actual 10 minute guided meditation?
so I'm happy to change this review if someone can tell me exactly where this 10 minute guided mediation is? it's a long audiobook with interesting stories about meditation and mindfulness but it's pretty jumbled in that there doesn't actually appear to be a chapter, or chapters with the actual recommend guided mediation which has sort of rendered the time listening to it a bit pointless.

Interesting story...
I enjoyed listening to this almost autobiographical account of one man's journey in meditation. There were some good pointers. I think I would purchase another more technical guide (less anecdotal) to support Andy's story. But, absolutely no regrets. Easy listening.

YET AGAIN terrible chapter structure
I swear I'm going to quit audiobooks one day over chapter structure. The end of this book has a number of different meditation techniques for different situations (normal, walking, sleeping etc) so that's great. I can go back and select whenever I want now? Well technically yes but they are all bundled into one hour long chapter. Can't remember where the walking one was? Tough, move the little slider about and pray that you find it. Just please break them up into the different sections then we can all use this effectively.
You might say "Well subscribe to the app and find a walking meditation on there". I am a paid subscriber and there are none! Such an unnecessarily huge drawback which affects so many reference based audiobooks.
