    " Not *bad*... but not gripping either; I kept having to force myself to read even just a few pages. And life's really too short for that. "

    " This is one of the most excellent books on mindful meditation and learning. It is also great in that it gives examples of the benefits and also explains the real effects in the brain. Whats more is that it explains and gives resources on how to teach and do it yourself "

    " A very tough read in parts, but this book was incredibly informative, transformative, insightful and practical. A brilliant review and integration of neuroscientific literature. "

    " Was only able to get about 70 pages in, but so far the book was pretty informative. A scientific view of the benefits (and drawbacks) to practicing mindful meditation. Can't say much more than that till I get another chance to borrow it again or pickup my own copy when it's in paperback. "

    " I love this topic, and have enjoyed other similar books about neuroscience, dualism, neural plasticity, consciousness, etc. This is a super topic, but I found the book kind of tedious, so I don't know. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it. I didn't finish it. "

    " A wonderful overview of mindfulness. The author includes current research, and expounds upon the scientific aspects of awareness. I enjoyed the section on mindful education and believe it holds great significance to understanding the deficits of current approach towards education. "

    " I wasn't able to get very far with this book. I renewed it once and realized that it just wasn't going to happen. I think it was a little too technical for what I wanted. I like the overall concept of the mindful brain but don't necessarily need to know all the physical details. "
