Summary of Shaila Catherine's Beyond Distraction

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The default mode network is the area of the brain that is active when we are doing nothing, and it is typically active when we are thinking about things that are self-related. As you develop your mindfulness and meditation skills, you will notice your mind wandering less and less.

#2 Selective memories are created to unconsciously prove that the judgments are accurate. Your emotions, biases, desires, preferences, and fears affect your perception. And what you assume about yourself as the perceiving subject distorts the perception of the object.

#3 When you can turn your attention towards a thought without being seduced by the story line, you will be able to explore your tendencies, patterns, and the intentions that propel speech and action.

#4 When you notice the thoughts that come into your mind, you may find that certain patterns are clearly harmful. Other patterns that run through your mind each day may not seem overtly cruel, greedy, or hateful, but they may still obstruct your concentration.
