What do the Dalai Lama, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, and I have in common? We all love
the album Pinkerton. And, as it turns out, we all meditate every single day!
But meditation hasn't always been part of my daily routine. In fact, before writing this, I was your typical smartphone- and MacBook-obsessed guy who thought meditating was something other people did. You know, like Buddhist monks. After trying it, though, I haven't stopped. Here's how I've changed along the way."Algebra was initially [derived through Islam], but it also described some universal phenomena," meditation devotee/ABC News anchor Dan Harris told me. "Yes, meditation is derived from an Eastern 'religion,' but it's for everybody, and it doesn't mean you have to change your beliefs or adopt new beliefs."
And I didn't! I'm still Jewish, as far as I know. https://www.thrillist.com/health/nation/how-to-meditate-what-i-learned-from-meditating-for-365-days-straight/tech
