The Equanimous Mind: How a Ten-Day Meditation Boot Camp Unexpectedly Awakened Me to the Fundamentals of Life and Existence (Unabridged‪)‬

The Equanimous Mind chronicles the author's first 10-day Vipassana meditation camp experience at the end of 2010 and the life-changing impact it has had on his personal and professional life since that time.

This new second edition comes at an important milestone in Manish’s journey as 10 years have passed since that first 10-day retreat. A new epilogue in this 10th anniversary edition has been expanded and enriched with updates on his progress since the journey began a decade ago.

The book describes a 10-day Vipassana meditation course in the tradition of S. N. Goenka from the standpoint of someone encountering meditation for the first time. It contains a detailed, journal-like narrative of the rich and complex sequence of events that unrolls during the retreat. The author’s capacity to recall and sequence vivid details by the hundreds gives the book the feeling of an experience, rather than merely of a recounting.

The Equanimous Mind has a particular heartwarming quality because of the earnestness with which the author seeks to grow into being the best possible person he can be. Many people will benefit from this volume of clear sentences, deep feelings, and important messages.
