Publisher's summary

Master entrepreneur, original hip-hop mogul, and New York Times best-selling author Russell Simmons shares the most fundamental key to success - meditation - and guides listeners to use stillness as a powerful tool to access their potential.

In the New York Times best-seller Super Rich, Russell Simmons proved that to be rich is more than just having money in the bank - wealth is about balance, joy, and conscientious living.

In Success Through Stillness, Simmons shows the connection between inner peace and outward success through interviews with other successful leaders in various industries, and how learning to be still has been instrumental in his own career. Simmons attributes his meditation practice with changing his life for the better and says that there is no "bad" way to meditate, only different forms for different people.

In this highly anticipated new book, Russell Simmons guides listeners into finding greater clarity and focus, and explains how to be healthier in both mind and body. Simmons breaks down what he's learned from masters of meditation into a guide that is accessible to those unfamiliar with the practice.

GREAT BOOK. I REALLY ENJOY ALL OF RUSSELL'S BOOKS.

Where does Success Through Stillness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This would probably be the most beneficial in having an immediate impact on my life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Success Through Stillness?

Monkey's throwing crap. LOL Describing the cloth with the Yellow Paint. Sitting with your spine straight opens your chest, which opens you up to all of the wonderful things in the universe.

Which scene was your favorite?

The last chapter where he explained the poses and the mantras and just wrapped up everything. He was extremely encouraging while stressing the tremendous benefits of quieting your mind.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Allow the thoughts to come and keep repeating the mantras and the thoughts will eventually pass. Compassion is your greatest resource for success.

Any additional comments?

I really look forward to incorporating meditation into my lifestyle for 20 minutes 2 times per day.

Great insights into meditation

Would you listen to Success Through Stillness again? Why?

Yes parts of it.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story spends way too much time focusing on the benefits. After the first few, I got it. However the story seemed to drag on.

20 minutes a day

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have always been interested in meditation but felt I couldn't do it. I also couldn't bring myself to pay $1,000 or more for transcendental. This book enabled me to start the journey and actually begin to quiet my mind.

What did you like best about this story?

The overall way it was presented.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It calmed me and let me learn something about myself

AMAZING!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this book to anyone and have. I love the way this book is writtern. It is written from his perspective with science backing him. He made me get back into my meditation practice. I felt like he was speaking to me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Success Through Stillness?

Loved the part where he talked about places to meditate. His point about using your car or the bathroom has really opened my eyes to the fact that you can meditate anywhere. This has profoundly help me be consistent. Thank you Russell.

Any additional comments?

I recommend you read the Autobiography of a Yogi as well.

boring

Would you try another book from Russell Simmons and/or Herbert Point-Du-Jour?

nope

Would you ever listen to anything by Russell Simmons again?

nope

How did the narrator detract from the book?

he didn't, the book just didn't do anything for me...in fact, i am now less interested in meditation than before the audiobook.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

hmmmmm, i couldn't finish it, and don't intend to, as it was just boring for me.

Any additional comments?

having someone else narrate his book seems lazy and inauthentic in regards to the subject/purity of meditation, that aside, the manner in which it was written was rather dull.
