Every Mindfulness Meditator should read

Revisado: 06-10-23

This helped me expands my understanding of Buddhist meditation techniques. What this book gives you a is another dimension to mindfulness. While it doesn't dwell into mindfulness meditation in any depth.
It shows you how the mind work. It gets into the underlying mechanism of different ways of how thoughts occur.
So if you had enough experience with mindfulness meditation you can parse out the nuances between focused meditation vs open monitoring vs open awareness practice and the underlying cognitive processes.
Then it also gave me a greater appreciation for the DMN activities.
It helped me understand how the contemplation of Anattha, Anicca, Dukka work. Some Buddhist teachers call it discernment. Discernment requires DMN procesees over a longer period of time for insights to occur.
I wish Moshe Bar had a bit more experience with meditation, to explain this. But he like all other meditators new to it get stuck in the narrow understanding of meditation that most meditation teachers are stuck in.
Still the book is a very worthwhile book. I will be returning to this book to glean more understanding with time.
Two other books that added depth to Mose's thesis is "How Emotions are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett and "Positivity" by Barbra Fredrickson. Both research scientists speaking about their domains.
