Two things that stop many people before they even try.

“I can't meditate! I have too many thoughts.”

Having thoughts does not mean you are bad at meditation. It means you are human. Everyone has thoughts during meditation. The trick is to work with them and not fight them. This book will show you how.

“I don't have time.”

The time challenge becomes easier to solve when you notice the benefits and make measurable progress. This book shows you how to weave meditation into a busy life and create more purposeful time.

What early readers are saying...

This practical guide takes the "I can't meditate, I've tried" attitude and turns it into "this is easy and enjoyable." Michelle makes meditation approachable, doable and flexible enough to create a real routine.

Why I wrote this book.

After burnout disrupted my high-tech career, health and relationships, I came to meditation the hard way and struggled with traditional approaches to learning and teaching the techniques. Eventually I had to innovate my way into a new approach and began teaching meditation as part of my corporate coaching programs. That experience inspired this book and my desire to help people create a consistent yet flexible meditation practice they know is working. Calm, creativity, resilience, and focused attention are especially important skills to build in our AI-influenced world.
