There are a ton of books out there about the art and craft of writing, but this one seems truly original. Meditation can help, as far as I know, in all creative endeavors, not just writing. And I swear by binaural beats. What a helpful review! Thank you!

I am fascinated by several hurdles and crises that new writers face when crafting their first orignal work. I am intrigued by the great thinkers/authors that will be discussed in this book such as Thomas Edison and John Dewey among others. I am interested in learning how meditation and its various forms can be used to help writers, both young and old.

Commitment is essential in writing a book, and while it can be both enjoyable and challenging, writer's block and other obstacles often hinder potential authors. "Zen and the Art of Writing: Publish Your First Book" by Ray Hodgson offers a solution to these challenges, guiding writers through the process and addressing crises they may encounter.

The book begins by exploring the creative minds of great thinkers like Thomas Edison, John Dewey, and Professor Mednick, emphasizing the importance of reaching a state of reverie for creativity. Meditation, particularly practices focusing on rhythm such as mantra or breathing, is presented as a means to achieve this state, offering additional benefits like stress relief, improved sleep, immunity boost, and enhanced concentration. Hodgson suggests the use of binaural beats in meditation, citing research showing their effectiveness in reducing stress.
