Andy Puddicombe, founder of the much publicised Headspace, is on a mission: to get people to take 10 minutes out of their day to sit in the here and now. Here he shares his simple to learn, but highly effective techniques of meditation. Accessible and portable, these powerful techniques promise amazing results. Quiet the mind, feel less stressed, less tired and achieve a new level of calm and fulfillment. By following the daily exercises you will start to experience literally life changing results. The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are now well documented with doctors advising their patients to give it a try. Andy brings this ancient practice into the modern world, tailor made for the most time starved among us.

For beginners and seasoned meditators alike, here is the opportunity to harness and develop skills that will combat the negative symptoms of our fast paced world, and that once learned, will last a lifetime.

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.

A good no-nonsense guide to meditation

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.

YET AGAIN terrible chapter structure

Been trying to dabble in meditation and mindfulness for years (unsuccessfully) but have never really got my head around it until now! Andy explains it all so well and gives great tips on how it can be applied into every day busy life! Life changing! Thanks Andy!

Loved it!

I have been using the headspace app a little while now and found it excellent. A way of finding some peace and calm whenever I can and some perspective. It becomes easy just taking a few minutes for yourself everyday. This book gives some background on Andy and is written well and with a lovely sense of humour. It is down to earth and there is no religion or chanting. Though as he says these techniques of handling life skilfully have been around for thousands of years! He gives you help on the approach to meditation and also the techniques. There are guided meditations at the end of the book. I have friends who use this in other parts of the world who find the app and techniques also covered in this book useful for different reasons. So give it a go and tune into life. Don't end up in your 50s like me wishing you had loved the times you had had and found it had all gone by so quickly! An excellent book read well by Andy himself.

Brilliant.

Absolutely loved this book!!

Only recently started to take an interest in meditation & mindfulness, and have listened to quite a few books, this is without doubt the best I have come across. Can recommend it enough!!
