Ann Swanson is the author of the internationally bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages. Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life. She worked alongside Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Sara Lazar and an illustrator for the New York Times to create this science-backed visual guide.

However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming her own chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga and meditation, to China to explore tai chi, and to earn a Master of Science graduate degree in Yoga Therapy. Now, Ann blends cutting-edge res ...more

Quotes by Ann Swanson (?)

“You may have heard that it takes 21, 30, or 66 days to build a habit, but author James Clear says: “The honest answer is: forever. Because once you stop doing it, it is no longer a habit. A habit is a lifestyle to be lived, not a finish line to be crossed.” Consider meditation a journey of lifelong learning that doesn’t change who you are, but allows your highest self to emerge.”

“The study, entitled “A wandering mind is an unhappy mind,” published in the top-tier journal Science, concluded, “The ability to think about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost.”

“Many people think that meditating is about stopping thoughts completely, but it isn’t. In many forms of meditation, you simply observe thoughts arising and disappearing. It’s like watching clouds or bubbles pass by while remaining aware of the vast, clear blue sky in which they float. It is entirely natural to get carried away by thoughts, getting into a mental conversation about the past or future.”
