“Sit offers more than tips for establishing a daily meditation practice. This book gently guides readers to understand and transform the subtle mental habits that may be limiting our potential and influencing the myriad choices we make every day of our lives. By taking these simple practice tips to heart, readers will develop effective life skills and break out of restrictive habit patterns wherever and however they may appear.”

“Bodhipaksa provides us with wonderfully practical steps for developing the habit of meditation! He shares research-based methods for creating and sustaining healthy behaviors, and combines these with insights from the Buddha and later Buddhist teachers on meditation. There is now a very large body of research on the benefits of mindfulness and other meditation techniques. If you want to cultivate a regular meditation practice (or habituate to any other healthy behaviors), then I highly recommend this book!”

“Sit delivers a time-tested truth in clear, relatable language: consistency beats intensity every time. Bodhipaksa shows us that the real magic of meditation isn’t found in rare peak experiences, but in the steady rhythm of showing up daily.
