Publisher's summary

Discover the 44 laws of life that are the missing link between the desire to meditate and the motivation needed to maintain a regular meditation practice, process the emotional fallout of meditative experiences, and find spiritual fulfillment.

Meditation isn’t rocket science - but keeping a steady practice can sure feel like it. Many have sought the transformation and mindfulness that meditation promises to unlock, only to get frustrated and discouraged. As it turns out, meditation isn’t as easy or relaxing as some claim.

Don’t Just Sit There! is a profoundly revamped guide that will overhaul your meditative practice by acknowledging and helping you work through the not-so-peaceful side of achieving peace. It’s organized around the 44 laws of human experience, with a week-by-week guide to productively processing each one. Centered on identity, purpose, life experience, human nature, expansion, and the world we live in, these laws can become obstacles in moments of quiet solitude without the tools to properly face them.

Meditators of all levels and styles of reflection can benefit from this guidance on how to master and overcome the 44 laws and establish a lifelong practice. By confronting the emotional, soul-shaking nature of meditation, you can deepen your spiritual understanding throughout your personal life and leave the difficulties of motivation behind.

good, but a bit presumptuous

it's a fun book full of decemt philosiphical advice, and the author is cool and tells good stories. I could feel her ego abbit too much though, which makes this book a little bit annoying for some. tried to listen with my wife, but she couldn't stand the self glorification.

Such a good entry into spirituality and meditation

Biet narrates this book beautifully and I have followed her on social media for a while now and this book just feels so authentic . She introduces spirituality and meditation in a way that is approachable.
