One of the biggest myths in our society is that you can simply choose to be happy whenever you want, even in spite of challenging circumstances. Or, that happiness is a byproduct of making more money, falling in love, or being successful. But modern research says this is an illusion. Happiness is not sustained through achievements. Rather, it is the result of having strong "inner" muscles.

We strive for success, but we are rarely happy. The more we try to win - putting on a brave face for work or family - the more we risk losing ourselves. And even reaching our goals can feel strangely hollow. The culprit? Fear. It makes us anxious, or shameful, or turns us into perfectionists. We pretend to be someone else while aiming for a status that’s never truly satisfying. There is another way. A way to find our true voice, to win on our own terms.

In the end, it's not what happens to us that matters most - it's what we choose to do with it. We all face suffering - sadness, loss, despair, fear, anxiety, failure. But we also have a choice; to give in and give up in the face of trauma or difficulties or to live every moment as a gift. Celebrated therapist and Holocaust survivor Dr Edith Eger provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages us to change the imprisoning thoughts and destructive behaviours that may be holding us back.

Self-help books like The Secret promise that we can tap in to the 'law of attraction' to control our destiny, simply by changing our thoughts. If we strip away the mystique, at the heart of this idea is a fundamental truth that is backed up by the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience: most of the things we want from life - health, happiness, wealth, love - are governed by our ability to think, feel and act; in other words, by our brain.

But whether in our diets, fitness plans or jobs, radical overhauls never work. Instead we should start with quick wins - and embed new, tiny habits into our everyday routines.

Awful
- By Jo Brown on 11-03-20
Summary
From one of America's top meditation teachers comes a revolutionarily simple approach to everyday practice - especially if you don't think you have the time or the patience.
Imagine you're sitting on a cushion with your legs crossed, ready to tap into unlimited joy. There's just one problem: You can't get comfortable (let alone still), and your head is full of way too many thoughts.
The problem is not with meditation, or you, though - the issue may be with your approach.
When properly understood and practiced, meditation should feel easy, calming, and comfortable. In Bliss More, maverick instructor Light Watkins provides the tools for making it E.A.S.Y. (Embrace, Accept, Surrender, Yield), dispels the biggest myths and misunderstandings, and shares real-world tips and straight talk for hacking into this ancient practice. The result: a happier and healthier you, inside and out. Watkins also shares candid testimonials from people whose lives have been enriched through his method, and extensive resources for transforming a daily chore into an enjoyable activity. Even the biggest skeptic will look forward to sitting for meditation every day.
Whether you're a novice or experienced practitioner, Bliss More will shed light on the path to a clearer mind, better sleep, and more bliss in everyday life.

now i get it!
light narrates his book in a friendly, engaging way. i always felt drawn to meditation but when i tried it, i felt like i was basically just sitting with my eyes closed. following the EASY method as described works! i am actually meditating now, had a couple of insights and am sleeping so much better.
i didnt agree with the exchange principle, but everything else he said just hit a chord with me - especially the bit about mindfulness being selective focus, and you can go so much further into an experience than that - it just made me look at things differently.
if you are new to meditation or do not feel you are getting very far, then this is the book for you.

If everyone could learn and implement the ideas in this book the world would certainly be a better place.
I listened to this after I had already begun the Ziva technique by Emily Fletcher, and found this book to be a great compliment to my practice. It explains things in a different way to aid understanding, both books work very well together.

Overrated
I found this book odd. The technique is very prescriptive and there is no alternative offered if you don’t want to repeatedly say ‘ahem’ to yourself when meditating, which frankly just makes me think of throat-clearing. It also suggests if you keep doing this then you will start having abstract thoughts such as thinking your toes are like stars. I’ve been meditating daily for two years and nothing like that has ever happened to me though I’ve tried many approaches. It also adds on a feeling of pressure and expectation that you should be experiencing something magical (“bliss”) and therefore feeling disappointed if that doesn’t happen. The second half of the book starts with a chapter saying that meditation isn’t magical and you shouldn’t expect major changes. Then it launches into several chapters of anecdotes about people who have experienced major changes. One thing I did like was the comment that you don’t have to be ‘focussing on’ something throughout meditation which mindfulness guides often suggest but I feel stops my brain from being able to relax and do what it wants to. As for all the book’s obsessing about how it’s fine to sit on the sofa to meditate; unless you are a real worrier I’d imagine most people sit how they are comfortable to meditate anyway, I certainly do. This book is a bit ‘emperors new clothes’ in my opinion, promising something that isn’t really there. Stick to kabat-zinn and the full catastrophe in my opinion.

Best guide to meditation
Took awhile to get into Light’s accent. But quite quickly it became very clear his message is amazing and worth persevering with! (Sorry if that sounds irreverent Light! ) anyway I’d heard a podcast with him being interviewed which is what lead me to buying the book and persevering. So glad I did. This has actually changed my life.
I’ve done many courses in mindfulness and tried to build my own practice ... so much knowledge and so little capacity ... this has opened up the practice to me so soo effectively.
If meditation is something you need in your life and your daily practice is not happening ... listen to this... you won’t regret it!

Changed my Meditation. 100% yes! Read it!
I always knew that I wanted to do meditation but it felt so tedious and every time I would go to sit down and meditate I would be worried that I wouldn’t do it right, I didn’t have the right body position, or I didn’t have enough time or or or or or.... since reading this book I have been meditating consistently and without judging each individual meditation I have noticed an overall difference in my mood and outlook outside of my meditations. Another thing I really loved about the book is it gives me a lot of background/knowledge on the brain and why certain things in meditation work or cause you to overthink things. All in all it is made my meditation experience so much more enjoyable and something that I feel confident in now. If you’re curious about meditation I would 100% recommend reading this book!!

Great place to start for beginning meditators
Being a daily meditator and using this technique for almost three years, I feel like my practice is enriched from listening to this book. I also tell people frequently about the benefits of meditating, but can't really explain my practice because it can't be learned from a book. Light Watkins does a wonderful job of teaching about the technique as well as gives a simple meditation to get people started, but then also explains why they need to explore further and find a teacher to truly get the most out of the practice. Happy meditating, future readers, and hope you experience "Bliss More" after reading this great book!

I love this book. His instructions on proper meditating are as close to having live lessons with him. The beauty is, you can relisten to the instruction part as often as you have to. Very helpful for me.

Life-Changing
This book is incredible. I started listening to this because acupuncturist recommended it sure to my high stress job. After listening to this book and implementing his techniques, my stress levels (and heartburn and acid reflux) lowered and eventually disappeared. It's a simple method but takes dedication, totally worth it. Thanks for sharing your gift Light!

Best Book on meditation I’ve ever read/listened to
Having been an on/off meditator for decades, this book cleared up many misconceptions I’d had about the reasons for and process of meditating. Within the first couple days of following the authors guidelines I found a new level of contentment,optimism and yes bliss....and an unprecedented motivation to do the practice not just every day, but twice a day. Can’t recommend enough, or give enough copies to others. Thank you Light Watkins.

Inspirational and helpful!
I had listened to a podcast where Light Watkins was interviewed. I was inspired by him to start a meditation practice, but I did not know how to begin. This book, along with Light’s book The Inner Gym, were instrumental in getting me started with a successful meditation practice. My husband and I are now 3 weeks in on a daily meditation practice, and we are already noticing the positive effects that it is having on our lives and in each other. I highly recommend this book!

Life changing
Before I bought this book, I’ve tried other types of meditation and subscribed to many different apps for many years. But meditation was still something I wished I could do or something I wished could help with the general anxiousness or fear of life I felt daily.
After reading/listening to this book and following Light’s 21 days meditation challenge (that I stretched to 90 days and months), I found myself having a gap between emotions and my thought process. I found myself generally calmer and not so fearful of life. The change was so subtle but was enough to believe the method taught in the book works!
If you’ve been curious about meditation, get this book. Light addressed a lot of questions I had about meditation but didn’t know who to ask. Having those questions answered as I start the practice was very helpful.
Method taught is also a super easy method that can be done by anyone and at almost anytime (not whilst driving or working heavy machinery).
Overall an excellent self-help book. Life changing is an understatement.
Thank you Light Watkins for writing this book.

Great Meditation Guide for Beginners and Experts
This was a wonderful compassionate guide through a gentle philosophy of meditation. As someone who has meditated for years and read lots of books and attended many trainings and retreats I enjoyed this kind process for cultivating a practice. For many these insights might not be revelatory but Light adds his voice and experiences to this field in a way that is down to earth, inviting, and encouraging those who are just beginning and offer reminders to those deeper on their journey to enjoy their practice even more. I also recommend Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff and for those wanting more comical introductions to concepts of mindfulness 10% Happier by Dan Harris that covers lots of theories and approaches. I discovered Light through his 21-Day Meditation Course available online at Commune and immediately wanted to seek out more of what he had to say. Listening to this renewed my love of meditation as did his course and I will definitely return to listen again. He shares both his own journey as well as experiences of his students with the ebb and flow process of any long term meditation practice. I appreciate the loosening of the effort that can often arise in mindfulness and pressure to "do it right" and "get results". This book feels like an invitation to soften and hold greater compassion for yourself in whatever your experience of meditation. Highly recommend for those interested in the topic and enjoy hearing different voices on engaging with meditation.

Great ‘how to get started book’
Thank you Light for putting all this down on paper. I’m very much looking forward to my first 90 days of meditation using your instructions!

WOW. It really works!
I've been a novice meditator for years and recently decided to add a second daily meditation to compliment my morning sit. I found Light on insta and enjoy his daily dose emails, so I thought I'd give his book a listen to see if I could tap into more bliss.
The answer is YES. WOW. Light's approach is very thoughtful, thorough, and E A S Y. I'm getting so much bliss out of meditation - and just generally feel much more chill all around.
If you're a beginner, good for YOU. You'll LOVE this book!
If you're a regular meditator looking to go deeper and try another approach, you'll LOVE this book.
It's really enjoyable and full of insight. Plus, Light reads it to you! What more could one ask for?
