Get Some Headspace by Andy Puddicombe
5.0
I don't give out the 5 stars very often, and I'm still a little hesitant to give it the big 5. It doesn't earn it for the writing, which is good but not transformative, but I did something different with this book, which was read it, listen to it at the same time, and actually use the website to meditate. It's been just about two months, and Andy's approach to meditation has literally changed my mind, so that's worth five stars.
His ten minutes of meditation a day approach is brilliant, because the time commitment is so small, and the results are so great. I found that I wanted to keep going, so I moved up to fifteen minutes, and then twenty, and now I'm wrapping up a 30-day cycle to improve sleep, and I can say definitively that I am sleeping better than I have in the past 25 years.
This book is filled with personal stories describing how Andy Puddicombe became a Buddhist monk for ten years, then transitioned into teaching and running a clinic, plus a few simple exercises to try while you're reading, and some solid scientific research to support the whole show.
Worth checking out if you've been curious about meditation and not sure how to get started.
