Meditation for the Rest of Us

For many of us, the world seems increasingly a dark and dangerous place, but meditation can help us hang on to optimism and stay resilient in the face of personal and political challenges.

It’s time to demolish a few misconceptions. There’s nothing special or affected about meditation, and there’s no need to be solemn about it. You don’t have to be fey or ethereal. Meditation delivers value for ordinary people leading busy, complicated and sometimes stressful lives.

At its core is a radical question — what if this it, right here, right now? Is it time to let go of anxious self-improvement and embrace something more honest: deep self-acceptance?

Meditation for the Rest of Us offers a fresh and witty approach that shows how a few minutes of doing nothing can quietly change everything.
