Summary

The essential guide to training your brain for mindfulness - modern, science-based, and with no Buddhism required.

Publisher’s note: Brain Training with the Buddha was previously published in hardcover as The Foundations of Mindfulness.

Lifelong meditation teacher Eric Harrison intimately understands the benefits of mindfulness, from improved focus and better judgment to relaxation and inner peace. He’s helped tens of thousands of students to achieve these goals by rooting his practice in the Buddha’s original text on how to meditate and live mindfully: The Satipatthana Sutta.

Brain Training with the Buddha offers a secular perspective on this ancient wisdom that requires no familiarity with Buddhism itself - only openness to the Buddha’s original teachings. Harrison’s translation of this sutta (the first in modern English) comes with guidance for anyone looking to train their mind by applying its 13 steps to mindful living today.

seems like splitting hairs than applicative

To a lay person it seems like a long scholarly discourse on the true origins of word meaning and different schools of thoughts. whilst the author is very knowledgeable he dwells unnecessarily long on the same criticisms repeatedly and not on constructive conclusions that is applicable. Probably a good book for reference and others scholars researchers, but it is not brain training for the play person.
