The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness: How Mindfulness Can Change Your Life in Ten Minutes a Day by Andy Puddicombe

5.0

Recommended, rather unexpectedly, in a French language learning podcast, "I'm Polyglot." I'd been contemplating trying meditation for a while and this was my last step before actually diving in (2 weeks in so far!).

Written by the founder of Headspace, I love how this book doesn't just explain how to meditate but actually gives some (secular) context and information on the "approaches" as well as how to integrate the practice into your life. The stories and anecdotes were just enough to provide visualizations without going overboard.

Imagine what it would be like to have someone give you their full and undivided attention. Imagine what it would be like to return the favor.
