The intro course in Headspace is amazing. I had to experience with meditation and Andy really explained it well. It completely changed what I thought meditation was. But then, afterwards, he made it so simple I didn’t need the app at all.

You’re right about his story. His book is great, simply for the first quarter where he tells how he got where he is.

If you like the book, you’ll love the audiobook. Same content, but Andy reads it. It’s a great listen, especially if you haven’t read the book before.

That said, the book is simply presented and somewhat repetitive, so the material doesn’t exactly stand up to repeated listens much. But it’s still fun :)

The Headspace Guide to Mindfulness & Meditation audiobook by Andy Puddicombe https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/andy-puddicombe/the-headsp... (can be found on Audible, Kobo, Audiobooks.com etc.)

Has a few guided meditations at the end of the audiobook, though you might also get some value from the various ones posted for free by Headspace on their social media: https://youtube.com/c/headspace

Exactly! I think headspace ran out of Andy content and so did my interest after that!
