Mindfulness awareness creates scientifically recognized enhancements in our mental functions and interpersonal relationships.

Great read For some sort of soothing

Personally I’m a little saturated with material of this content lately, but as far as it goes it is an extremely pleasant listen. Both the narrators are easy to listen to you and peace well. There are meditations sprinkled throughout the book which is just one more reason why it would be great if audible would have chapters that would align with the content and also tables of contents so we could return to the useful parts. Really appreciated the medical perspective woven into the mindfulness pieces, that kept this book above the fray of mindfulness productions recently.

So well done. A joy to listen to

For the nerds-at-heart, this book takes the spiritual experience of meditation and puts it into scientific terms to explain the HOWs and WHYs of the benefits of meditation. Hits the SPOT for me! Truly rich in explanation and execution. I have become a devoted fan of Jack Kornfield and Dan Siegel after this book. I would recommend that you have some background about how the brain works (such as by reading Your Brain at Work by David Rock) and some experience with meditation (Any form will do) to get the full impact of how much this book puts into context.
Awesome! Have given it to 3 other people as gifts.
