This book is about life. To describe life with a single metaphor would be like putting the universe into a single equation. With that complexity, everyone is always trying to figure everything out, their minds kicking up dust as they run and run. That's when they get confused. But when they sit and breathe, the dust settles, and they see what was right in front of them all along. Picture this: if you're living in the fast lane, everything is a blur outside your vehicle's window. It is hard to appreciate those simple things if you do not slow down. Give meditation a try, and discover how the empty mind dwarfs the open mind.

Chris Foster became interested in meditation and Buddhism when he was in his early twenties, and he has continued the practice ever since. His perspective on life changed, and he wanted to share what he learned with the world.
