Why Meditate by Tejash Shah

 Why Meditate - The Inner-net Journey: You Googled "how to be happy" and got 4.2 billion results. Still not happy. by Tejash Shah

"Why Mediate" shifts our attention from the external world to that within you. although it gives you answers. There is such comforting truth in how it accepts and explores not having them. At the end I was with far more questions and a much quieter mind rather than practical steps to take. 

It begins like a low-key, brutally honest conversation between two strangers I somehow begin to feel I know. During a simple train journey between two strangers, questions are unpacked. These questions are the ones I would either avoid or keep pushing down—questions about contentment, focus, the unending chase of…and what not?.

What I especially loved is how real the conversation feels—there's no prescribed philosophy, just two people exploring the very real fact of not always knowing, and it makes all of the self-doubt somehow very charming.

The writing is simple, sometimes even repetitive. It’s not a book you rush through; it’s something you read slowly and think about.

Overall, it’s a good read if you’re curious about meditation but don’t want anything too technical or overwhelming. It may not give instant answers, but it definitely gives you a new perspective on happiness and self-awareness.
