Have you ever had the opportunity to talk with a true master in the realms of mindfulness and meditation? Over the years, I\\u2019ve read books and learned from various experts, but none with today\\u2019s level of mastery.\\xa0

Today\\u2019s guest, Shinzen Young, has practiced and taught meditation for over 50 years and is considered to be a true master. He is the co-director of the SEMA (Sonication-Enhanced Mindfulness Acquisition) Lab doing neuroscience research at the University of Arizona, and author of one of the most practical books I\\u2019ve ever read on the subject: The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works.

In a conversation I\\u2019ve been looking forward to for a long time, Shinzen and I dive deep into what makes a mindfulness practice so valuable, overcoming limiting beliefs and setbacks, and what you should do to make your next practice even better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How to develop the fundamental attention skills that allow us to succeed not just in meditation, but in life.
• Why it\\u2019s so important to establish and maintain goals to have an effective, meaningful, lifelong meditation practice.
• Why meditation is not the whole story for human happiness - and the negative effects it can have on people.\\xa0
• What happened when Shinzen procrastinated and had to return an advance to a major publisher after failing to deliver his first book.\\xa0
• Why Shinzen recommends you do more of what you\\u2019re already doing in your mindfulness practice - and do it better.
