"Teach us to sit still, a sceptic's search for health and healing" by Tim Parks. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This has been a really interesting read. I purchased the book "Calm" from the Vintage Minis collection. These books contain excerpts from longer books or collections of short stories and they are marvelous (although I often end up buying more from each author, so it's probably not the best value for money. But it's books,so who cares? 😍) .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Calm" contains Mr. Park's experience with Vipassana and I'd highly recommend it if you are interested in meditation. It's very satisfying to read how such a cultivated and successful person struggles desperately with sitting still and not thinking. If you have ever tried to meditate (not even hardcore vipassana) it will definitely make you smile 😂 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Teach us to sit still" is the entire book and explains his journey with his illness and how he ends up trying Vipassana. It gives you the bigger picture and explains more who he is as a person, but if you are just interested in the Vipassana I'd stick to the Vintage Mini. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sketchnoting #book #meditation #vipassana #timparksauthor
