Meditación para escépticos inquietos

Like many other skeptics, news anchor Dan Harris thought meditation was reserved for people who collect crystals and have impossible diets. One day changed all that when he suffered a panic attack on national television for several million people to witness. Since then, he discovered that meditation can help mitigate depression and anxiety, control blood pressure, and improve overall wellbeing. In this work, Harris and meditation teacher Jeff Warden embark on a journey to explore the myths, misunderstandings, and self-deceptions that keep people from meditation. With a mixture of testimonies and practical exercises, clear and applicable to all kinds of daily routines, Meditación para escépticos inquietos demonstrates that it is possible to change our lives without radically transforming our habits.

Como muchos otros escépticos inquietos, el presentador de noticias Dan Harris creía que la meditación estaba reservada a personas que coleccionan cristales, llevan dietas imposibles de explicar y usan la palabra namasté sin ironía. Pero un día sufrió un ataque de pánico al aire, en un programa en vivo que vieron varios millones de personas. Desde entonces, descubrió que la meditación puede ayudar a mitigar la depresión y la ansiedad, controlar la presión arterial y mejorar el bienestar general. ¿Por qué, entonces, no la practicamos todos?
