About this listen

The Mind Illuminated is a comprehensive, accessible and - above all - effective book on meditation, providing a nuts-and-bolts stage-based system that helps all levels of meditators establish and deepen their practice. Providing step-by-step guidance for every stage of the meditation path, this uniquely comprehensive guide for a Western audience combines the wisdom from the teachings of the Buddha with the latest research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

Clear and friendly, this in-depth practice manual builds on the nine-stage model of meditation originally articulated by the ancient Indian sage Asanga, crystallising the entire meditative journey into 10 clearly-defined stages. This manual is an essential listen for beginners and seasoned veterans of meditation alike.

Excellent

By far the most insightful and instructive book (and audio book) I have on meditation. The narrator's voice is resonant, soothing, and extremely clear. This is a life long resource I look forward to returning to time and again.

Wow, this is simply brilliant!

Interesting journey through the stages of meditation that immediately motivates to reflect about how present and aware we really are of what we are experiencing in live.
I only started to meditate now and this is the first book I ever read on this topic and I have to immediately made me much calmer.
I will definitely read or hear it again couple of times.

really thoroughly examined process of the stages of meditation and how to progress, given insight to mind body systems and making it accessible and easy to understand in a scientific demeanour. a bit dry at times but to be expected as this is non fiction and a useful guide to be taken whenever you feel like you're ready to progress in your meditation practise.

best meditation guide I've come across
