"How to derive the benefits of mindfulness meditation without having to join a religion or drink metaphysical Kool-Aid. Meditation doesn't require you to believe in it to work. Like any good technology, if you use it correctly, it will do the job reliably whether you believe in it or not. And - make nomistake - meditation is a kind of technology, a technology for hacking the human body to improve your life. How to make the most of that technology for yourself. Step-by-step instructions in the powerful and reliable techniques of mindfulness meditation, along with the psychological and neuroscientific research underpinning these practices. An excellent book for beginners who are atheists, agnostics, and skeptics of all stripes who want help with anxiety, depression, and to enjoy life more. Michael W. Taft is a meditation teacher, science fiction freak and neuroscience junkie"--Provided by publisher.
