Meditation is more than a practice - it is a way of living with balance, clarity, and compassion.
We are told to sit still, focus on the breath, and watch our thoughts. But what if the very act of "being mindful" is what keeps us trapped? In Mind Space, Ronald E. Purser - author of the international bestseller McMindfulness - turns meditation inside out. Drawing inspiration from Time, Space, and Knowledge by Tibetan Buddhist master Tarthang Tulku, Purser shows that the real obstacle to awakening is not distraction but the quiet inner manager forever striving to get practice "right".
Most guides promise calm or clarity if only we can perfect our technique, be mindful enough, or finally arrive in the present moment. That endless deferral, Purser argues, is the trap. Here is a radical alternative: meditation without the meditator. Practice no longer means grinding for results - it means discovering the openness already shining through the ordinary. Whether you're weary of spiritual striving, skeptical of commodified mindfulness, or simply curious about a freer way of being, Mind Space opens a liberating vision: freedom is not a distant prize to earn. It is already here - radiant, intimate, hiding in plain sight - waiting only to be recognized.
