Not what I expected. Hoped it would be about neuroscience. It's not. Dr. Doty tells his life story, and how by imagining things metaphysical powers make them real, but this power is like the monkey's paw. If you imagine yourself locking up criminals, it may be your father you end up locking up. Mostly a bunch of new-age garbage, with some scientific terminology to give it the veneer of legitimacy, and Dr. Doty talking about how great he is, and how hard his struggles were to overcome. I'm sure he is a great guy, but I got really sick of the narcissism and magical thinking.
A way for the author to assuage the mistakes he's made in a way that shows him off and indulges his arrogance and "superiority"

Interesting to read about mindfulness from a doctors perspective.
I enjoyed reading this book. This book not only offered good storytelling, but also morals. The biggest theme in this book is compassion. Compassion is important in order for us to connect to other people and also ourselves. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes psychology and in need of hopeful stories.

i loved this book so much and i think everyone should read it if they are going through a hard time
شاید اگه جناب دوتی کمتر به خودش بابت همه چی کرِدیت میداد و سعی میکرد با گفتن یک سری مباحث کلیشه من رو قانع کنه که پول خوشبختی نمیاره و مدیتیشن میتونه مسیر زندگیم رو عوض کنه، میتونست خوانش خوبی باشه.
اما نبود چون بی‌وقفه به خودش کرِدیت اضافی داد، نصف داستانش قابل باور نبود، به شدت سعی کرد قانعم کنه پول خوشبختی نمیاره و تا میتونست با یک سری کلیشه تکراری نصیحتم کرد.
چه اصراریه خب.

Tells the story of a disenfranchised child who is unknowingly gifted tools of buddhist meditation. The child grows up to be a successful neurosurgeon. This memoir tells Dr Doty's story and is centered on the meditation and self-love practice he learned as a child.

Stress is a killer and meditation helps. Quite a lovely story about how he came into the practice and how it continues to benefit his mental wellness.
