  • Well put. i guess you’re right. I know that Shinzen Young is trying to do some of that kind of research. But in general the only thing I’ve heard of are studies in the direction of mindfulness. And afaik there’s a bunch of studies showing positive benefits to that. And in a way most meditation techniques, while not focusing on mindfulness, do require it to work. At least in one way or another. But you’re right. For me at least I know it is a good thing and that’s enough for me.


  • I have read the whole book and have meditated accordingly for a year or so. I agree that it’s not that science based. But I still found it super cool that it is a very analytical or ‘scientific’ approach in that it is very algorithmic and clear what you do when. There are some parts that are a bit unclear, but all in all I really enjoyed the “if you are there, do that” kind of approach.

    Do you have any other book recommendations that are more science based?
