Deboarah Norris comes to the subject of mindfulness from a non-spiritual route, using science to help us understand why mindfulness works.

She then connects it to the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who has studied flow states - and shows how mindfulness can not only help us cope with anxiety and worry, but can also be used to optimise our states of flow - the periods where we are subsumed by what we are doing, and life and time just "flows".

Can be a bit dry and academic in parts, but generally it's an easy and interesting read.

Quite interesting read from the science perspective on meditation written in a language that is easy to follow and providing useful information.
