About this listen
Can’t stop your thoughts when you try to meditate? Think you’re failing because your mind won’t stay quiet? You’re not broken—and you’re not alone.
If you’ve ever sat down to meditate, only to be ambushed by racing thoughts, discomfort, and self-doubt, this book is for you. Quieting the Mind When Your Mind Won't Be Quiet is a practical, heartfelt guide written for real people with real minds—especially those who’ve convinced themselves they’re just not “the meditation type.”
With warmth, humor, and hard-won insight, this book unpacks the most common beginner struggles in meditation—including the biggest myth of all: that your mind has to be quiet to do it “right.”
Inside you’ll discover:- Why stopping your thoughts is not the goal of meditation
- How to work with a restless, anxious, distracted mind without giving up
- Why short, imperfect sessions are more powerful than you think
- How to build a kind, consistent meditation habit—even if you’ve failed before
- What real progress looks like (hint: it’s not what you expect)
You’ll also get a full toolkit of simple, down-to-earth meditation practices designed for busy, skeptical, and beautifully imperfect humans—including short mindfulness techniques, emotional check-ins, self-compassion tools, and real-life strategies for when you want to quit.
Whether you’re brand new to meditation, returning after a break, or struggling with negative self-talk every time you sit down to practice, this book will help you find your footing—without the pressure, the jargon, or the unrealistic expectations.
Perfect for readers searching for:- how to meditate with a busy mind
- can’t stop thinking during meditation help
- beginner meditation book for anxious people
- how to build a meditation habit that sticks
- why meditation doesn’t feel peaceful
- what to do when meditation feels like it’s not working
Quieting the Mind When Your Mind Won't Be Quiet is not just a meditation book. It’s a compassionate conversation with the part of you that wants to be more present, more grounded, and more kind—to yourself and to the world around you.
Because the truth is:
If you’re showing up—even a little—you’re already on the path.
And you’ve never been doing it wrong.
