Summary

Meditation makes you more productive because it lets you earn back time. For each minute you spend meditating, you'll earn around nine minutes back, as Chris Bailey - author of The Productivity Project and Hyperfocus - will show in this candid and counter-intuitive guide to the productivity benefits of meditation. 

How to Train Your Mind digs deep into the practical, tactical benefits of a meditation practice - and how to integrate a meditation ritual into your own life. In addition to calming your mind and allowing you to slow down in an overanxious world, research shows that meditation can de-stimulate your mind so you can think more clearly, procrastinate less, and be more effective at everything you do - at work and at home. 

Featuring guided meditations designed to fit your busy, unpredictable schedule, How to Train Your Mind is the ideal guide for anyone looking to improve productivity without sacrificing time. While much has been written about the spiritual and intangible benefits of meditation, as far as our productivity is concerned, meditation is in a league all its own.

Loved it. Better than expected

It is shocking that nobody has put these points across before and so well. The entire book is so understandable and relatable.

I feel I have invested my time very well with this one

Yes I called it a book. (In joke)

Highly recommened for anyone with a busy mind.

I consider this 'retreat' as a deliciously serendipitous discovery. I was 'idly' browsing for a book which could help me manage my busy workload and mind - this is that book. I listened to it over several days whilst on vacation - walking and relaxing. I completed the (very short) guided meditations which were an excellent introduction and motivator for my own practice. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the wisdom, guidance and insight. It's up to me now to keep it up - which I am sure I will as the author gives solid advice on how to do this (just 2 mins a day is all it takes). Highly recommended for anyone with a busy mind and looking for life enrichment.

Thought Provoking

Chris Bailey presents a very well rounded guide not only on the benefits of meditation to productivity but to the rest of life also.

The book is well narrated, interesting, and concise while still going into detail.

Fantastic book

I’ve been practicing meditation a lot over the last few months and this book surprisingly gave me more motivation to go deeper. I wasn’t expecting this to be about meditation and encourage everyone to try it.

Great for first-time experiences with meditation

Being my first time delving into this interesting practice, I found this as a great guide and a good motivator to integrate meditation into my routine. Rje narration is very clear as well, pleasure to read.

A clear and helpful guide - best so fa

I liked Chris approach, it give the novice an entry point, an overview and a motivation to start. This subject is complicated and many will give up before making progress. There is a real need to more books like this for people to follow.
Hyper force is my next read from Chris as you go further down the rabbit hole.
Thanks Chris
