The No-Nonsense Meditation Book: A Scientist's Guide to the Power of Meditation

For those interested in meditation, yet wary of the metaphysical aspects often associated with this ancient practice, this book offers a scientist's view of the good it can do for us. A collaboration between a neuroscientist and a former assistant to the Dalai Lama, The No-Nonsense Guide to Meditation uses hard science to explain what was previously considered to be only a spiritual practice. Through a close examination of the impact of meditation on the brain, Steven Laureys and Matthieu Ricard make meditation accessible to the layperson, and can help you develop your own practice.
