About Joshua

The Buddha's Playbook (Cover) We all face daily challenges, vicissitudes, stresses and hassles. Particularly in the modern environment, we need to possess a range of skill-sets that enable us to be flexible, dynamic and adaptive. And without this greater capacity for versatility, we play an endless game of catching ourselves up and running ourselves down.

Meditation has a proven track record for increasing health, boosting creativity and strengthening clarity.  However, many people are confused not only about how to meditate, but even more-so, how to sustain the habit of meditation.  And it's really the ability to practice meditation with consistency that delivers all the long-term benefits.

Joshua Summers and Michael Brooks have brilliantly synthesized insights from theories on decision-making with ancient contemplative approaches to make the habit of meditation practice real and relevant. By practicing the simple techniques and approaches in The Buddha's Playbook, you will infuse your life, your work and your purpose with a focused mind and a compassionate heart.

“Trenchant, user friendly, quasi-outrageous, this is a meditation manual unlike any other.  Use it at the risk of dissolving your favorite neurotic issues into nothingness.”
