The No-Nonsense Meditation Book: A Scientist’s Guide to the Power of Meditation
Book written by Dr. Steven Laureys, offers a refreshingly practical, evidence-based route into meditation.
Laureys, a world-renowned neurologist and expert in consciousness, in the book he explains meditation isn't about mysticism, escaping reality, or passively emptying the mind. Instead, Laureys shows—through rigorous brain science—that meditation actively changes brain function, leading to measurable improvements in attention, emotion regulation, and pain perception.
This evidence-based approach challenges the common notion that meditation results are unscientific, or solely available to spiritual adepts. Instead, Laureys demonstrates that meditation is a practical, trainable skill rooted in neuroplasticity and accessible to anyone, with immediate and lasting benefits for mental health and overall well-being.

“How Emotions Are Made” is a paradigm-shifting book in which neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett argues that emotions are not hard-wired reactions, but experiences your brain actively constructs using prediction, your body’s internal signals, past experiences, and culturally learned emotion concepts. She dismantles the idea of universal, built-in emotions living in specific brain regions and shows instead that you play a much larger role in how you feel than you think—with practical implications for mental health, relationships, parenting, and any practice (like meditation or coaching) that works directly with emotional life.
