Hurry Up and Meditate by David Michie
If meditation were available in capsule form, it would be the biggest selling drug of all time. It has been scientifically proven to deliver highly effective stress relief, boost our immune systems, and dramatically slow the aging process. It has also been shown to make us much happier and more effective thinkers. Given all the physical and psychological benefits, why aren't more of us doing it? In this thought-provoking and entertaining book, David Michie explains the nuts and bolts of meditation. As a busy professional and a long-term meditator, he also gives a first-hand account of how to integrate this transformational practice into everyday life. Combining leading-edge science with timeless wisdom, Hurry Up and Meditate provides all the motivation and tools you need to achieve greater balance, better health, and develop a more panoramic perspective on life. The idea of infusing our daily schedule with newfound tranquility may sound appealing, but not everyone is temperamentally suited to sitting around in the lotus position chanting Om. Not to mention the fact that some of us just have very active minds. We'd like to meditate, but we're just not capable of switching off. The the amazing thing is that it's exactly the people who use the too busy, 'too hard, and too hyper justifications who stand to gain the most from meditation.David Michie is the author of the bestselling 'The Dalai Lama's Cat' series, as well as a variety of mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhism publications. 'Why Mindfulness is Better than Chocolate,' 'Hurry Up and Meditate,' and 'Buddhism for Busy People,' for example, are nonfiction titles. His books are available in over 30 countries and 25 languages. David is a mindfulness and meditation keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and coach. He has vast experience presenting to a wide range of people in a variety of settings in a number of countries.
In 2015, he founded Mindful Safaris, a company that takes groups to Africa, where he was born and raised, to encourage people to travel uncharted territory, both outer and inner, through a combination of daily game viewing tours and mindfulness training. David was raised in Zimbabwe, a country rich in African animals, but he always returned home to his corgi, Tudor, who had an ear that flopped instead of upright.
