"A practical guide to accessing profound states" - Shauna Shapiro, Professor of Psychology at Santa Clara University
"Battle-tested tools to rewire your brain for lasting bliss" - Mark Divine, Retired U.S. Navy SEAL Commander
"The new groundbreaking science of deep meditation has never been more accessible." - Ruben Laukkonen, Co-Director of the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing at Oxford UniversityOur minds rarely savour the present. Instead, they replay painful memories, spiral into needless worries, and chatter internally at up to 4,000 words per minute. While this may seem normal, there's a better alternative: a fit mind. Former Buddhist monk and FitMind founder Liam McClintock shares a powerful, little-known meditation method that can be integrated into everyday life. This approach moves us beyond conventional mental health toward mental fitness, tapping our full capacity for vitality, compassion, and enduring joy. Grounded in centuries of contemplative wisdom and supported by modern science, the method enables both beginners and experienced meditators to: Activate blissful "playlists" in the brain on command Quiet the mind's excess chatter, going beyond thought entirely Enter profound altered states of consciousness Experience lasting shifts in perception, awareness, and well-beingFit Mind demystifies how the brain works-and how to train it. The fascinating new neuroscience of meditation points to a greater potential within all of us.
