The Attention Revolution: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind by B. Alan Wallace
I didn’t get very far in this book but I want to put it in my read list as a place holder so I can revisit it.
A couple of things - they make a point to say that having a teacher to guide you is kind of essential (I don’t currently have one.)
He makes a point early on when describing the ten stages of shamatha that unless you can dedicate an hour or two every day you won’t really be able to get past stage 2.. and I have two young kids, so that isn’t happening any time soon without some (extra) sleep deprivation.
I’m impressed with B. Alan Wallace’s experience and I really like his writing, but I’ll start with something a little easier to handle at this stage in my practice.
