"I see Jerry as a no-nonsense personality, one who’s reached the pinnacle of success in a competitive field. So hearing him emphatically praise meditation perked my ears."

"He focuses on how meditation creates sustained energy throughout the day, which is crucial for his productivity and his daily enjoyment of what you’d otherwise call “a grind”. "

First, on Seinfeld. Are we really taking meditation advice and believe the benefits from billionaire's now? You mean if a poor black woman in the Bronx with two kids and four jobs just say and mediated all their anxieties would go away and they would be more productive?

Now, on Cam. Am I really supposed to believe a vacuum cleaner salesman when he tells he how good his vacuum is? The guy is setting of on a new career as a "personal coach". And this is what they all do, they suddenly realize that "mediation is the answer." They made money off of tech and now they need a new easier way to make money.

When I was a Theravada Buddhist I meditated for up to two hours a day. The people telling you meditation will make you "calmer and more productive" are selling you snake oil to tempt your ego mind, they are not helping you realize what it is.

So what is it?

+1, strongly. Anybody selling meditation as a silver bullet is deluded or selling something.
