If meditation were available in capsule form, it would be the biggest
selling drug of all time. It has been scientifically proven to deliver
highly effective stress relief, boost our immune systems, and
dramatically slow the aging process. It has also been shown to make us
much happier and more effective thinkers. Given all the physical and
psychological benefits, why aren't more of us doing it? In this
thought-provoking and entertaining book, David Michie explains the nuts
and bolts of meditation. As a busy professional and a long-term
meditator, he also gives a first-hand account of how to integrate this
transformational practice into everyday life. Combining leading-edge
science with timeless wisdom, Hurry Up and Meditate provides all the
motivation and tools you need to achieve greater balance, better health,
and develop a more panoramic perspective on life. The idea of infusing
our daily schedule with newfound tranquility may sound appealing, but
not everyone is temperamentally suited to sitting around in the lotus
position chanting Om. Not to mention the fact that some of us just have
very active minds. We'd like to meditate, but we're just not capable of
switching off. The the amazing thing is that it's exactly the people who
use the too busy, 'too hard, and too hyper justifications who stand to
gain the most from meditation.
