Summary
Meditation makes you more productive because it lets you earn back time. For each minute you spend meditating, you'll earn around nine minutes back, as Chris Bailey - author of The Productivity Project and Hyperfocus - will show in this candid and counter-intuitive guide to the productivity benefits of meditation.
How to Train Your Mind digs deep into the practical, tactical benefits of a meditation practice - and how to integrate a meditation ritual into your own life. In addition to calming your mind and allowing you to slow down in an overanxious world, research shows that meditation can de-stimulate your mind so you can think more clearly, procrastinate less, and be more effective at everything you do - at work and at home.
Featuring guided meditations designed to fit your busy, unpredictable schedule, How to Train Your Mind is the ideal guide for anyone looking to improve productivity without sacrificing time. While much has been written about the spiritual and intangible benefits of meditation, as far as our productivity is concerned, meditation is in a league all its own.

repetitive and not very interesting
I found it extremely repetitive, and a felt like I was having dejavu. it might make a good drinking game if you take a drink every time he says meditation, focus or mind but you would be totally hammered in the first five minutes.

Thoughts on slowing down
I listened to this on double speed while doing gardening which clearly shows that I needed to hear something like this. I am trying to slow down and meditate and when I focus on my breath I have to think of this book and then I am getting irritated that the author called the wind pipe (trachea) “oesophagus” (which is the food pipe) twice. But overall worth a listen although I enjoyed the voice more on double speed than during the guided meditations for which I obviously slowed down.

Loved it. Better than expected
It is shocking that nobody has put these points across before and so well. The entire book is so understandable and relatable.
I feel I have invested my time very well with this one
Yes I called it a book. (In joke)

Great advice and changed my thinking
Relatable recent culture references and anecdotes as well as the lively narration really helped make this enjoyable and the short listening time meant I got a lot out of this. Best book I've listened to so far
