But in another frame of mind, I’d characterize it as a meditation that calms and inspires. Dr. Jim Nicolai (the medical director at Weil’s program at Miraval) includes ~50 passages about self-improvement, organized around sections on motivation, emotions and stress, spirituality, nutrition, and fitness. The content is extremely basic, the writing is simple and conversational, and there’s an earnestness that feels like Nicolai really wants to help.
Again, it’s more reminder than new material, but that reminding is probably what makes it feel meditative. And I found a few takeaways, one being for use when I’m stuck: “What’s the next right thing to do?” Another suggests amending the SMART method of goal-setting (where goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely) into SMART-TV, where the addition of “Transformational Vocabulary” turns the goal from obligation into excitement. Nicolai recommends doing this by appending goals with something like, “...while thoroughly enjoying the process!” That hit home because I already have my vocabulary, drawn from the TV series Mad Men, where Don Draper rallies the staff during an especially dire corporate phase by asserting that the firm will get beyond the set-back, and will succeed, and the process will be invigorating!
Recommended with reservations.
