Meditation has been a part of our own internal culture for decades. But who else does it?
Most successful people meditate, from all walks of life, all over the world.
In Timothy Ferris' 673 page seminal book "Tools of Titans", Timothy interviewed 112 billionaires, icons, and world-class performers in an attempt to tickle out their tactics, routines, and habits that brought them to success. More than 80% of the interviewees have some form of daily meditation practice.
Meditation is NOT the act of "emptying your mind". To "empty your mind" means to cease brain activity, which means you are dead. Meditation is the act of placing thoughts in your mind towards the goals you are meditating on, and in doing so, you push other unrelated thoughts out of your mind.
It is an important principle of success. It works.
