This book is for individuals seeking to improve their focus, mental clarity, and overall well-being through meditation. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators interested in learning a structured approach to attentional training. It is also relevant to those with attention deficits or hyperactivity disorders, as well as anyone looking to enhance their cognitive abilities and emotional balance.
The book draws upon centuries of practical wisdom from contemplative traditions, particularly the Buddhist tradition of shamatha. It addresses the challenges of chronic distractibility in modern life, offering a method for training attention that has been marginalized in both modern science and many contemplative traditions.
