More DescriptionWhen an embarrassing outburst costs Elaine, a 30-something research analyst, her career, she devotes all her energy to self-improvement. She checks into "spiritual rehab" in L.A., the woo-woo capital of wellness, and takes up Buddhist mindfulness meditation. When she discovers, to her horror, that she is immune to the calming benefits of meditation, she tackles the Zen challenge with Type-A zeal. Her quest to be present leads to seven stages of awakening in a modern-day Siddhartha odyssey. Meditation-Proof captures the bewilderment of a beginning meditator on a maddening quest to tame the mind, and shares life-changing discoveries about the self-acceptance, freedom, and truth we can find when we truly listen to the voices in our heads.
