Synopsis

Discover the forty-four 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.

Biet Simkin knows from personal experience that finding your way to transformation and mindfulness isn’t always easy. Drawing on hard-won wisdom from her journey through addiction, personal tragedy, and the New York rock-n-roll scene, Biet shares the guidance you’ll need to move from meltdowns to miracles.

Don’t Just Sit There! is a guidebook that will empower you to dive into meditation by helping you work through the not-so-peaceful side of achieving peace. With insights on forty-four laws of human experience, it provides week-by-week instructions to process each one. From the Law of Focus to the Law of Desire, these aspects of spiritual life can become obstacles without the tools to properly face them.

Experienced and novice meditators alike can benefit from Biet’s frank, freeing advice on how to establish a lifelong practice in an often chaotic modern world. By confronting the disruptive quality of spiritual life, you can motivate yourself to realize the meditative practice of your dreams.

A curious mix of materialism, and self-help advice. Meditation is in the title but not so much in the pages. The author shares her battles with addictions and has much to share, however not a lot of insight into meditation practice itself. Also checked out this brief interview: [URL not allowed]......more

Goodreads review by Jess on July 08, 2019

I assumed this was about meditation. The underlying message seems to be “All roads lead to...capitalism.”. Which is fine. Someone on the other side of this may come across her deeper insights while looking for financial/career advice. She’s certainly acquired spiritual wisdom, for which I’m grateful......more
