Great read For some sort of soothing

Personally I’m a little saturated with material of this content lately, but as far as it goes it is an extremely pleasant listen. Both the narrators are easy to listen to you and peace well. There are meditations sprinkled throughout the book which is just one more reason why it would be great if audible would have chapters that would align with the content and also tables of contents so we could return to the useful parts. Really appreciated the medical perspective woven into the mindfulness pieces, that kept this book above the fray of mindfulness productions recently.

Loved the Duality of their Presentation

Would you listen to Mindfulness and the Brain again? Why?

Yes, I have listened multiple times.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I was familiar, and enjoy the work of Dan Siegel, but this was my intro to Jack Kornfield. I thoroughly enjoyed them both AND the interaction between the two.

Balance of research and anecdotes

I can't recommend this enough. A perfect mix presenting research and personal/professional experience. Thought provoking, challenging, and functional.
