Our minds spend little time in the present. They often replay painful memories and chatter internally at up to 4,000 words per minute. They're easily caught up in cycles of craving, self-criticism, and needless worry. While this may seem normal, there's a better alternative: a fit mind.
Buddhist monk and tech founder Liam McClintock shares powerful, little-known techniques that enable us to meditate anywhere-whether at home, work, or on the move. Through this training, qualities like presence, vitality, and lasting bliss will become within your reach.
Despite a successful career in private equity, Liam found himself unfulfilled. The problem wasn't his outer circumstances, but his inner state of mind. He left finance and trained with renowned meditation masters across the globe while also collaborating with leading neuroscientists to study advanced meditative states.
The journey ultimately led him to ordain as a Buddhist monk, where he developed a highly effective method for achieving optimal mental fitness. This approach centres on four steps: Recognize, Release, Relish and Remain. Grounded in 2,500 years of contemplative wisdom and supported by modern science, this is a complete toolkit for beginners and experienced meditators alike. Readers will discover how to:
* Quiet the mind's excess chatter-going beyond thought entirely
* Enter profound altered states of consciousness
* Gain transformative insights into the workings of the mind
* Experience durable shifts in perception, awareness, and well-being
With Fit Mind, you can train an extraordinary mind amidst the demands of a busy life. Discover how a fit mind-one full of clarity, energy, tranquility, compassion, and joy-is both vital and accessible.
