In The Press

"This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to understand mindfulness from a traditional Buddhist perspective and how to go beyond it and harness the transformative power of insight meditation. There are lots of great tools and strategies in here for anyone who wants to wake up, live more consciously, and actively build a richer and more fulfilling life." —Dr. Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap and ACT Made Simple

"Nairn, Choden, and Regan-Addis cogently and compellingly present some 2,500 years of the Buddha’s teachings as well as the research in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology that speak to the veracity of these teachings. The path they set out before us has the power to bring more freedom into our minds and restore a sense of interbeing to our lives." —Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness

It integrates traditional teachings with cutting-edge neuroscience while being encouraging and full of practical suggestions. Deep, penetrating, and far-reaching, it offers remarkable insights on every page." —Rick Hansen, PhD, author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness
