All of it can be summarized in 1 or 2 pages but I liked the science backed explanations for some of the mindfulness practice benefits that we take for granted. Even so it could have been shorter

Some great “ food for thoughts “ regarding a meditation practice, but found the writing a bit cumbersome and challenging to follow for a smooth reading experience.
