"Modern science is based on the Latin injunction ignoramus - 'we do not know'. It assumes that we don't know everything. Even more critically, it accepts that the things we think we know could be proven wrong as we gain more knowledge. No concept, idea or theory is sacred and beyond challenge". - Yuval Noah Harari. This blog is a documentation of my journey of enlightenment, knowledge, and the pursuit of physical and emotional well-being.

The Beginner's Guide To Meditation - Shinzen Young
This seems more like a "how to" Podcast rather than an audiobook.
Young talks about meditation as concentration to produce equinimity that allows an insight into the self. This allows one to serve the world with love and compassion.
He talks about when and how to practice. He talks about sitting upright and finding time alone, and then the next part is intended to be listened to while meditating - he talks about focusing on breathing, relaxation, and then loving kindness.
I thought this was a pretty good book about the basics of meditation. I think I'm going to try incorporating this into my life.
