Second, he is at the forefront of brain and emotion scienceand is able to speak about contemplative practices to smart, skepticalstudents.

From the Author

My intention in writing this book was simple: You shouldn't have to join a religion to get the benefits of meditation.

By treating mindfulness as a scientifically-based, psychologicaltechnique, you can learn mindfulness meditation without having tobelieve in reincarnation, karma, or other mystical ideas. You canmaintain a powerful, regular, and deeply effective meditation practiceand stay well within the boundaries of science and common sense.

That is because meditation doesn't require you to believe in it to work.Like any good technology, if you use it correctly, it will do the jobreliably whether you believe in it or not. And--make nomistake--meditation is a kind of technology; a technology for hackingthe human wetware to improve your life. This book is a practical,hands-on, step-by-step manual about how to make the most of thattechnology for yourself.
