Review of 'Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

(Audiobook review) This is definitely a book best enjoyed in audiobook format. It includes guided meditations in the appendix. Additionally, since Brown is an experienced reader of the written word, his delivery is among the best I've ever heard from an author. I'm a reasonably well experienced meditator. Many of the arguments made in the book were aimed at convincing the reader of ideas I've already accepted, however that didn't lessen my enjoyment. I also enjoyed Brown's amazing candor. He never seemed to be making excuses for his own shortcomings.

The book is more than yet another how-to on meditation. There's a narrative of the 10 day road trip Brown and his team from the company her formed to support his 10% Happier app. Speaking of the app, this book is a continuous self-endorsement of Brown's company, usually subtle and at other times overt. I didn't find it particularly off putting. Some may.
