How to Train Your Mind: Exploring the Productivity Benefits of Meditation Review

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.

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.
