Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
Wherever You Go, There You Are
Buy on Amazon"I was first introduced to meditation through a book during high school, as I was a bit of a rebel in my early years and, as part of a program, received a book on the subject. The book is titled 'Wherever You Go, There You Are' by Jon Kabat-Zinn. He was one of the first individuals to popularize meditation and mindfulness practices in the United States during the late 1980s."
Altered Traits
Buy on Amazon"This concept is elaborated in the remarkable book 'Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body' by Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson. They have conducted excellent work and produced many writings and TED Talks on meditation. In fact, around 2016 or 2017, this book effectively captured the core elements of the science and history of meditation."
