Hmmm. While I agree with the article to a point, I'm not sure it's really a good idea to just stop thinking. I'm a practicing Buddhist, and so it's important for me to meditate and try to spend time being "in the moment." That being said, when everything is going well, that sort of "opening the hand of thought" state is just what my brain defaults to. Instead of woolgathering, I just pseudo-meditate. Thinking is important. We definitely shouldn't stop doing it. On the other hand, certain kinds of thinking are not important. It's probably good if we stop doing those kinds of thinking.
