How Meditation Helps Combat Stress

By: The Big Quiet
Narrated by: Jesse Israel

Publisher's summary

There's no avoiding stress in life, but there's a better way to counteract it (which will also improve your sleep). In this brief educational piece, Jesse Israel, founder of The Big Quiet, shows you how meditation is the yin to stress' yang. 

Jesse was a successful music executive running his own label when debilitating anxiety and panic attacks forced him to step back and seek help. When he came upon meditation, it inspired him to switch gears in a big way. He founded The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement that gathers thousands of people for large-scale moments of quiet around the world (including for Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour with WW). 

This title is part of the Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to invite relaxation and sleep. New and free for members.

Very informative

The audoibook is short but really informative. It's a good way to gain basic knowledge about nervous system and how the meditatin helps the body and the mind to calm down.
The narrator is good. He explains everything very well.

Very well explained

Though this a very short audio book, Jesse Israel explained very well how helpful meditation is for stress relieving. Didn't know some of the stuff he mentioned in this audio book and happy to know it now. Overall, very informative and I am inspired to practice meditation.
