Reviews
Readers will receive succinct, articulate, well-written supportive data (cited) to help them create an expansive picture of meditation - its forms/types, timeline, and most significantly clinically and scientifically based perspectives and information that I have not seen gathered in one place before.:Nancy Eichhorn, PhD, in Somatic Therapy Today (December 2022); Appreciating the immense work behind such a great product, I believe that Sedlmeier's work has the potential to stand as a high-profile resource for studies in the realm of meditation in psychology. Throughout the book, the author's expertise is evident. This book liberally offers definitions, conceptual theories, and common measurement tools in mediation and mindfulness [and] provides a middle ground between the scientific and traditional approaches to meditation ... a unique and balanced endeavor.; Reviewed by Faly Golshan, Brain Health Lab, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, in British Journal of Psychology, 114 (2023);Readable, rigorous, and well-researched, this book reveals where the field is at today and lays out a roadmap for the research of tomorrow.;Reviewed by Kieran C. R. Fox, PhD, School of Medicine, Stanford University, CA, USA.
