One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic overbreathing. We often take many more breaths than we need without realizing it, contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems.

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Story
With Dream Yoga, Andrew Holecek guided us into Tibetan Buddhism’s nocturnal path to lucid dreaming. Here, he offers in-depth instruction in the tradition’s daytime practices. “Waking experience is also a type of dream”, teaches Holecek, “and things are not as solid and real as we think. This insight is what transforms a non-lucid life into a lucid one.” For those drawn to Tibet’s profound teachings for awakening to the true nature of reality - in the day or night - this guide shows us the way.

Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India, and later in Tibet. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas - those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings.

Publisher's Summary
Meditation offers, in addition to its many other benefits, a method for achieving previously inconceivable levels of concentration. Author B. Alan Wallace has nearly 30 years' practice in attention-enhancing meditation, including a retreat he performed under the guidance of the Dalai Lama. An active participant in the much-publicized dialogues between Buddhists and scientists, Alan is uniquely qualified to speak intelligently to both camps, and The Attention Revolution is the definitive presentation of his knowledge.
Beginning by pointing out the ill effects that follow from our inability to focus, Wallace moves on to explore a systematic path of meditation to deepen our capacity for deep concentration. The result is an exciting, rewarding "expedition of the mind", tracing everything from the confusion at the bottom of the trail to the extraordinary clarity and power that come with making it to the top. Along the way, the author also provides interludes and complementary practices for cultivating love, compassion, and clarity in our waking and dreaming lives.
Attention is the key that makes personal change possible, and the good news is that it can be trained. This book shows how.

Good book; lacks a little
This book was very good, though it lacks a little with regard to its idealism. It also doesn't show clearly how to achieve all of the stages of Samatha, as it just says that most people won't achieve it. I know it's a little idealistic to expect everyone to be able to achieve this state of mind, but it'd be better to have more actionable steps for laymen (like me) to achieve some degree of mental clarity. Other than that, I thought the book was very clear and provided decent meditation instructions. I like the subject matter, as well.

Treat your ADHD and be a focused person
Outstanding guide for practicing focusing your mind. At the very end, there was some mystical content that is left over from tradition (so 4 stars) , but most of the book is secular with its feet on the ground. My practice of these techniques seems directly correlated with my own improved focus, clarity, mood, resilience, creativity, compassion (maybe), joy, and professional performance as an IT consultant (I make more money). I believe that Shimanta practice cured my lifelong depression. After 30 years of depression; starting in my teens, I haven’t been seriously depressed for 7 years. I intend to regularly re-read this book.

Why can't the narrator pronounce the words?
This is an amazing and important book. The narrator completely botches it - both in his inability to correctly pronounce Sanskrit words - and I'm not being picky, he slaughters them - and in his lack of appropriate intonations. He reads everything as if he doesn't understand what he is reading. It's hard to believe that Audible could allow someone to completely ruin a fabulous book.

Interesting and clear instructions
I found this book gives clear instructions and advice about how to develop your focus and awareness capabilities although it seems to be confined to a Buddhist approach and conceptual framework.
I found the information very interesting as I am interested in the nature of awareness and perception. However, I found that it wasn’t very clear on the WHY of the whole pathway of training it describes, particularly as it sounds like it is likely to require years of practice of 10+ hours per day, and even then it sounds like it is very unlikely to achieve the described goal in terms of level of focus and awareness. What is the purpose of putting all that time and effort into this? What are the benefits that make it all worthwhile?

Worth a listen, but some parts maybe unattainable
It was an enjoyable listen, which I would recommend to others, but a large part of the last half of the book I'm not sure are attainable without a high degree of dedication.
The author repeatedly stresses in that portion that the techniques are only achievable with seclusion and full time practice for years.

A great listen for experienced mediators
This is not some whimsical spiritual book, but rather practical teachings based on a long history and a thoroughly investigated practice.
If your just experimenting with meditation, this might be too much, but for those looking to expand their practice, I wish you a similar experience to mine.
With over 20 years experience with meditation behind me, this book has taken me by surprise by just how much it deepened my understanding of meditation and my practice.
