The Atlantic book excerpt article only increased my eagerness to read this book. “The Sense Field” and the part about the agony of meditating for hours at a time breaking down the self. So good. Hopefully I can catch one of the local events, too. Book pre-ordered. 👍
I loved this excerpt, Michael, and I really look forward to the release of the book. I'm interested in the topic to begin with, but opening with Roshi Joan Halifax -- a hero of mine -- drew me right in.
CAN. NOT. WAIT. for the release of this book! I'm a big fan, and this subject fascinates me. I can't wait to see how you approach it. 👍🏽

All is 1
Shameless self promotion but I enjoy you work, writing and thoughts ( wrk,riting and thots)😉
thank you Michael
So excited about this book!
“To transcend the self, force yourself to be alone with it long enough to get so bored and exhausted that you are happy to let it go.”
Such a concise description of the outcome of prolonged silent meditation! Michael Pollen is an amazing thinker, writer, communicator.
Beautiful piece. Really. Superb. Can’t wait for the book.
