The Buddha Pill: Can Meditation Change You? by Miguel Farias

GoodReads First Read, 3 stars. This book was all about the statistics. It was really interesting to read as

an outsider with no specific vested interest in the outcome of the results. I can only imagine what

people would think if they were for, or against, meditation. The main studies based around prison

therapies but the gist being that what works for some might not work for all and due to everyone being

unique all results are unique. I like to believe that I am very aware of myself, my faults, vices as well as

all the good things. I study my actions and reactions and like to know why I behave the way I do. When I

was younger I avoided looking into myself because I did not like what I saw. Meditation, yoga, religion…

it works for some but not all. I find my “religion” in taking “me time”. Whether that is reading or

painting my nails or just driving home with the windows down being in tune with the moment.
