Review
What an interesting read!
How to Train Your Mind reminded me of the importance and benefits of meditation. It also reinforced why I loved doing the practice. But, of course, I have lost track of doing it myself a long long time ago—unless, you consider my daily yoga to be a form of meditation itself.
The book was thoughtful and well-written. In addition, I like the idea of only releasing this book as an audiobook format since the concept of it being a “retreat” would not have worked the same, were it published traditionally. The interactive execution of the book also added to the charm of this self-help. It aided readers in the appreciation of a moment and although it wasn’t an activity that must be done at the moment, it was an activity that forces us to participate for the very reason alone that it is part of the book.
Overall, I really enjoyed this audiobook and I can clearly see more people who’d like it. It is simplistic and easy to follow with added active participation to the readers that also made it more of a fun read instead of being solely a book on information.
