Deepens our understanding of the nuts-and-bolts of meditation. - Shane Parrish
Easy access to meditation. - Vinod Khosla
Somewhere in this process you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill utterly out of control and hopeless. No problem. You are not crazier than you were yesterday. It has always been this way and you just never noticed. You are also no crazier than everybody else around you. The only real difference is that you have confronted the situation they have not.
— Henepola Gunaratana, Mindfulness in Plain English
