The master entrepreneur and two-time New York Times bestselling author shares the most basic tool to successful living: meditation.
In Success Through Stillness, Russell Simmons, the original hip-hop mogul, illustrates the intimate connection between inner peace and outward success. A meditator for the past fifteen years, Simmons has trained with meditation and yoga masters and has worked with and observed other highly successful fellow meditators including Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Brand, and Forest Whitaker. Russell shares how meditation has contributed to the success of these innovators as well as other leaders in business, art, and entertainment, along with research that explores both mind and body benefits of meditation and how learning to be still has been instrumental in sustaining his own career. In Success through Stillness, Simmons lays out the simplest path to stillness, no matter who you are or even if you think meditating isn't 'right for you.' Meditation is a tool that will help you:
Find greater clarify and focus throughout your workday to increase your productivity.
Unlock your creativity by allowing your inspiration to be heard over life's distractions.
Physically change your brain so that you're less stressed and more energized.
Build better relationships by tuning into others' best qualities.
Break out of dysfunctional and harmful cycles.
Achieve an individual state of peace that can contribute to a larger, collective stillness.
Lower your blood pressure and stress levels, as well as eat healthier.
Success Through Stillness is a beginner's guide to utilizing the mental toolbox we are all born with, but often forget how to use, to reach our full potential. Through meditation, we can learn to string together the moments of tranquility and clarity we experience day to day, helping us push past distractions and finally get our hands on all the power that we inherently possess.
