About book Mindsight: The New Science Of Personal Transformation (2010)

Excellent book. Mindfulness is stopping to register what is going on around you and integrating the info with what you already know.Without mindfulness, we are thrown either into CHAOS (anger, fear, etc) or RIGIDITY.It helped that I was listening to the audio while reading it. Audio+visual stim helped keep the tempo, otherwise when it gets more scientific, one could be tempted to give up the reading. Listened to the audio book for 11 hours. It is very technical and may be challenging to get through in long sittings. Dense information. One take-away: chaos, rigid, and harmony. The illustration of mindsight in the beginning of the book: a group of people singing in one tone (rigid). Everyone covering their ears and singing on their own (chaos). Singing together that highlights the depth of the song (harmony). We want our mind-body connection to be in harmony.
