“Meditation isn't about becoming a spiritual vegan. It's about becoming a skilful CEO of your own mind.”

“The voice in your head is not you. It's just a voice. You don't have to believe everything it thinks.”

“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. Meditation is learning to ride the waves instead of drowning in them.”

“Self-interest is not a bad thing. Wanting to be less of a jerk is a perfectly good reason to meditate.”

“The goal isn't to control your thoughts — it's to control your relationship to your thoughts.”

“10% happier is enough. You don't need enlightenment. You just need to be slightly less of an asshole.”
