Most of us would benefit from adopting a meditation practice. Nearly all of the clients I’ve worked with as a psychologist (and pretty much all the other humans I know) wish they had more control over their thoughts and emotional reactions. They long for less stress, more happiness and relaxation, and greater enjoyment and presence for their happier moments. They wish they behaved in ways that aligned with their goals and values. In short, they desire mental peace. And, yet, despite the promises of meditation to provide all of these benefits, most people I know have also attempted meditation and abandoned it in short order.

Why do people give up on meditation?........
