“Enlightenment”—is it a myth or is it real? In every spiritual tradition, inner explorers have discovered that the liberated state is in fact a natural experience, as real as the sensations you are having right now—and that through the investigation of your own thoughts, feelings, and perceptions you can awaken to clear insight and a happiness independent of conditions.

For decades, one of the most engaging teachers of our time has illuminated the many dimensions of awakening—but solely at his live retreats and on audio recordings. Now, with The Science of Enlightenment, Shinzen Young brings to readers an uncommonly lucid guide to mindfulness meditation for the first time: how it works and how to use it to enhance your cognitive capacities, your kindness and connection with the world, and the richness of all your experiences.

As thousands of his students and listeners will confirm, Shinzen is like no other teacher you’ve ever encountered. He merges scientific clarity, a rare grasp of source-language teachings East and West, and a gift for sparking insight through unexpected analogies, illustrations, humor, and firsthand accounts that reveal the inner journey to be as wondrous as any geographical expedition. Join him here to explore:
• Universal insights spanning Buddhism, Christian and Jewish mysticism, shamanism, the yogas of India, and many other paths
• How to begin and navigate your own meditation practice
• Concentration, clarity, and equanimity—the core catalysts of awakening
• Impermanence—its many aspects and how to work with them
• Experiencing the “wave” and “particle” natures of self
• Purification and clarification—how we digest mental blockages and habits through inner work

Emerging neuroscience research, the future of enlightenment, and much more
For meditators of all levels and beliefs—especially those who think they’ve heard it all—this many-faceted gem will be sure to surprise, provoke, illuminate, and inspire.

Not worth 50 dollars and they were 160 dollars
Size: 8, Color: Perfect Black/Gold
These shoes are not what you think. And so expensive I just got them today and they are not worth anything. I am returning them as fast as possible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stylish and super comfortable These Tory Burch sandals are the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The buckle design adds a classy touch, and the color goes with everything. They’re very comfortable to walk in and don’t cause any rubbing. The quality is top-notch, as expected from the brand. Totally worth it!

Stylish slides - wish they were a little more comfortable
Size: 7, Color: Perfect Black/Gold
The Tory Burch buckle slides are very stylish and look great with almost any casual outfit. The overall design is cute and polished enough to dress up simple looks, which is why I plan to bring them on vacation. That said, the plastic buckle on top is a bit stiff, which affected comfort for me. I wouldn’t recommend them for a lot of walking, as my feet started to feel uncomfortable fairly quickly. Comfort-wise, I would rate these around a 5 out of 10. Overall, they’re a nice option for short outings, lounging, or occasions where style matters more than all-day comfort.
