Two New York Times-bestselling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain.

In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it.

Sweeping away common misconceptions and neuromythology to open readers' eyes to the ways data has been distorted to sell mind-training methods, the authors demonstrate that beyond the pleasant states mental exercises can produce, the real payoffs are the lasting personality traits that can result. But short daily doses will not get us to the highest level of lasting positive change--even if we continue for years--without specific additions. More than sheer hours, we need smart practice, including crucial ingredients such as targeted feedback from a master teacher and a more spacious, less attached view of the self, all of which are missing in widespread versions of mind training. The authors also reveal the latest data from Davidson's own lab that point to a new methodology for developing a broader array of mind-training methods with larger implications for how we can derive the greatest benefits from the practice.

Exciting, compelling, and grounded in new research, this is one of those rare books that has the power to change us at the deepest level.

Perfect gift!
Bought one of these for my father, and one of these for my uncle for Christmas. They both like how they weren’t flimsy, stayed in place, and kept a minimalistic aesthetic. I like, knowing that they have a place to keep their important belongings as they’re getting older, and seem to be misplacing things often.

Not impressed
Not impressed; doesn’t look as good as in the photos. Also, the one I received it not level? I don’t know if it was stored on a shelf incorrectly or it’s it’s a design flaw.

Beautiful, sturdy, storage...many uses, easily put together in about 2 minutes! Love it!
This is the handiest storage that I have ever had! It also looks elegant while storing! Could be used for make-up, kitchen, bathroom, even a beside the bed caddy to hold your remotes and necessities to watch a movie! Very sturdy, I held a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the middle shelf, and a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the bottom shelf, with some fruit on top!! Beautiful twisted looking glass (plastic) for a more elegant look. There’s only one thing I wish you could change. I’d like to put the fruit on the plate on the top, but it will not go together that way! It’s so big it needs to sit in the floor, making that very cute little bottom shelf almost useless. Very pleased with this storage and comes in very handy!! Love it and have recommended it for friends!
