Description

Combines cognitive psychology with Zen, Taoist, and Vedic practices to quiet the mind. Explains how reducing external stimulation can alleviate stress and anxiety for a calmer state of mind. Details meditation practices such as open-awareness meditation, contemplation of Zen koans, and Vipassana, and offers methods for digital detox and better sleep. Drawing on classical yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, as well as cognitive science, this book explains how fasting the mind can reshape habits and restore balance by easing the nervous system's reactivity. It discusses samsara, attachment, and how overreliance on rational thought can dampen spontaneity, feelings, and intuition. Sharing Zen, Taoist, and Vedic practices, the author shows how to gradually quiet the mind and repair disruption to natural rhythms, so it can come back into equilibrium. It provides simple meditation practices easy to implement in daily life, as well as more advanced Vipassana techniques. It also offers digital-detox strategies and guidance for better sleep, supporting cognitive well-being. By fasting the mind we strip away distractions and return to our original nature, helping us feel the beauty of the world and live more fully, authentically, and peacefully.
