Summary of Michael Taft's The Mindful Geek

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Meditation is a technology that applies psychology to the area of human wellbeing and performance. It makes the unconscious conscious, and it improves life by making you happier, healthier, and more effective.

#2 The brain is always on, and consuming energy, but most of that energy is spent on activities you are unaware of. The brain is constantly trying to make you feel better emotionally. Meditation helps you become more aware of what you’re feeling, which allows you to better control your emotions.

#3 Meditation not only gives you insight into your own feelings, but also into your own emotions, and those of others. It helps you understand your own motivations, drives, and behavior, and it can help you better relationships and read others.

#4 The human brain was believed to be a tabula rasa, or a blank slate, upon which learning could write anything. But it was later discovered that the brain continues to change and adapt throughout our lives.
