About this listen

Andy Puddicombe, founder of the much publicised Headspace, is on a mission: to get people to take 10 minutes out of their day to sit in the here and now. Here he shares his simple to learn, but highly effective techniques of meditation. Accessible and portable, these powerful techniques promise amazing results. Quiet the mind, feel less stressed, less tired and achieve a new level of calm and fulfillment. By following the daily exercises you will start to experience literally life changing results. The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are now well documented with doctors advising their patients to give it a try. Andy brings this ancient practice into the modern world, tailor made for the most time starved among us.

For beginners and seasoned meditators alike, here is the opportunity to harness and develop skills that will combat the negative symptoms of our fast paced world, and that once learned, will last a lifetime.

The best start to mindfulness

This book was excellent overall. The stories he tells about his experiences helps to put into perspective whatever he's trying to teach. The actual techniques of meditation didn't take up too much time (as expected) because the instructions are fairly simple and can also be found in his guided meditations. I was satisfied with him putting much more emphasis on the lessons to be learnt, the purpose and functions of the techniques and how it all fits into our daily life and routine.
The author's experience and wisdom is very evident in this book. He always puts it into perspective for the everyday person to understand the methods and integrate them into their daily life.
Great book and a great start to living a much more mindful life.

A gift and a ‘must read’ to anyone interested in mindfulness and meditation

I have done a very expensive course in transcendental meditation and did not get nearly the depth of insight that I received from this book. Thank you Andy, as always for your generosity and humanity in sharing your journey. Reading this book has deepened my understanding of meditation techniques, how and why they work and this has already started to give me more out of my practice. This book, you and the Headspace app are gifts to the world. Thank you.

A must read for 2019

I have been following headspace for a couple of years, and appreciate the difference it has made in my life. This guide by Andy Puddicombe is great for beginners and pros alike, as it helps you understand the why behind meditation, how it could potentially help you, and how to incorporate mindfulness in all facets of your life.

The fact that Andy narrates it all the way makes it even better.

Engaging and Informative

I was not a stranger to Headspace, having used the app for a while - however I found this audiobook to provide so much more insight into the techniques, the setup and reasons for them, put forward in such an engaging and thoughtful manner. Andy's personal experiences are so colourful and such great analogies to thought processes that I found it all as a whole thoroughly enjoying as well.

Insightful and engaging

Andy's story is amusing and engaging and he ties it masterfully with the techniques. The anecdotes are relatable. This Audible book ties wonderfully with his app Headspace.
