The Science of Enlightenment

Shinzen Young combines neuroscience and meditation in a way that feels accessible. I wonder what motivated this approach and how he balances the two.

I usually struggle with meditation guides, but this one felt grounded and doable. Did others try these practices, and how did they work for you?

There’s a wide range of ideas from psychology and neuroscience woven into the book. I'm curious how Shinzen Young chose which to highlight and how he integrated them.
