Publisher's Summary
Meditation - the technique of mental focusing for enhanced awareness and self-mastery - offers deep and lasting benefits for mental functioning and emotional health, as well as for physical health and well-being.
This practice is closely related to "mindfulness," which Professor Muesse defines as "a deliberate way of paying attention to what is occurring within oneself as it is happening. It is the process of attentively observing your experience as it unfolds, without judgment or evaluation."
"Meditation," he adds, "refers to certain exercises that can be used to enlarge and refine mindfulness." Meditation cultivates mindfulness by training you to develop deep attention to the present moment, allowing the mind to become settled and centered. These 24 detailed lectures teach you the principles and techniques of sitting meditation, the related practice of walking meditation, and the highly beneficial use of meditative awareness in many important activities, including eating and driving. You will also learn how to use the skills of meditation in working with thoughts and emotional states, in deepening sensory awareness of the body, and in becoming deeply attentive to the operation of your mind.
You'll come away with a solid basis for your own meditation practice and for bringing meditation's remarkable and empowering benefits to every aspect of your life.

A most Mindful effort
Ok. MARK has put his years of teaching this subject to good use. His style is slow enough not to get lost in the subject.. He has clearly defined for me the nature and purpose of meditation in a manner greatly more useful than deepak for example.

Intriguing
The topic of mindfulness is in fashion these days. Intrigued, I wanted to learn more about it and I wanted to do so in a detailed and in depth manner. This course delivered. Well structured, engaging and with ample opportunity to apply what is being taught. I enjoyed the learning very much. The concepts of impermenance and acceptance and the practice of sitting and walking meditation covered in the course, especially resonate with me. Great course indeed.

It’s a bit preachy
The tone of the other is very preachy vs the actual virtue of Buddhism he speaks of. The langue used seems like from a place of judgement which is literally the opposite of the virtues themselves.
That said there are a quite a bit good of points in there.

Inspirational
It’s a very educational course. I will listen to it more than once. It brought new perspectives and reminders of the things that I learned in the past. I especially appreciate Mark’s honesty and humility at the end of the course. It’s wonderful to hear a fellow human being that you can relate to in everyday things of life. I highly recommend this course, you will learn more about Mindfulness.
Thank you Mark W. Muesse

Life Changing
Dr Muesse has had a profound impact on my life through this course. Words cannot express how grateful I am for the work that he put into it and that I invested the time to sit in solitude to listen to it. I have this course for over a year now and only every listened to it while driving on weekend mornings. This time around, I did a mini stay at home retreat in my spare room to really squeeze all the juice out of it. Im confident Ill be listening to this course again in the future. Thanks again to Dr. Muesse and The Great Courses.

Relax while you transform
Dr. Muesse's approach to teaching meditation is both accessible and entertaining. He tells personal stories, discusses the mindfulness tradition, and invites listeners to alter his teachings as the see fit. As a meditation instructor and someone who aligns himself with Buddhist mindfulness I still learned a few new things from this course. Mark's speech is slow, but I still gave his performance 5 stars because it was a very easy listen at 1.25x speed. There is nothing wrong with his performance but I believe that most people would speed it up a little bit. People with auditory learning struggles may find his approach helpful because his words stick even as they pass.
This is a delightful and potentially life-changing course. If you are interested in developing a meditation/mindfulness practice without complicated jargon or regimentation, this is a stellar introduction!
