Publisher's Summary

Meditation makes you more productive because it lets you earn back time. For each minute you spend meditating, you'll earn around nine minutes back, as Chris Bailey - author of The Productivity Project and Hyperfocus - will show in this candid and counter-intuitive guide to the productivity benefits of meditation. 

How to Train Your Mind digs deep into the practical, tactical benefits of a meditation practice - and how to integrate a meditation ritual into your own life. In addition to calming your mind and allowing you to slow down in an overanxious world, research shows that meditation can de-stimulate your mind so you can think more clearly, procrastinate less, and be more effective at everything you do - at work and at home. 

Featuring guided meditations designed to fit your busy, unpredictable schedule, How to Train Your Mind is the ideal guide for anyone looking to improve productivity without sacrificing time. While much has been written about the spiritual and intangible benefits of meditation, as far as our productivity is concerned, meditation is in a league all its own.

Must read if you are looking to be more productive

This is the first book I have listened to that unpacks the benefits of meditation from productivity perspective. I love it so much that I read it twice. Since reading this book, I have been consistently meditating for the past two weeks. I find myself more focused, less distracted, and more aware of my present and thoughts. I would highly recommend reading this book, and I love the 2 min guided meditation included in each chapter. if you are looking to gain at least 9 min focus back, this is a book to read.

TITLE MISLEADING BUT ULTIMATELY WORTH LISTENING TO

I am a seasoned meditator but when Audible only shows you the main title and not the subtitle, I had no idea I was purchasing an audiobook on meditation and mindfulness.
Forgetting this, and managing to get through Chapters 1 & 2, I found the remainder of the audiobook to be most worthwhile.
For those beginning or considering a meditation practice, I think you’ll find this a 5 star audiobook. The content is well researched and well written.
