About this audiobook

Foreword by Mark Hyman, MD
Preface by Andrew Huberman, PhD
You know you should be meditating, so what’s stopping you? This entertaining and enlightening book by the founder of Ziva Meditation—the favorite training for high achievers—will finally take meditation mainstream.

“We meditate to get good at life, not to get good at meditation.”—Emily Fletcher

In our high-stress, overworked lives, we think the answer to accomplishing more is to do more. But the best advantage we can give ourselves is to take a mental break—to spend a few minutes of the day giving the body and brain rest. Did you know that a brief meditation can offer rest that’s five times deeper than sleep? When you make time to practice the Z Technique this book teaches, you’ll actually be more productive than if you took an hour-and-a-half nap or had a cup of coffee.

A leading expert in meditation for high performance, Emily Fletcher has taught meditation at numerous global corporations, including Google, Barclays Bank, and Viacom, to help their employees improve their focus and increase their productivity levels. With Stress Less, Accomplish More, anyone can get the benefits of her 15-minute twice-daily plan. Emily specifically developed the Z Technique for working people with busy lives. Now, you can learn to recharge anywhere, anytime—at home or at your desk. All you need is a few minutes and a chair (no apps, incense, or finger cymbals required).

This is not just another meditation book. In Stress Less, Accomplish More, Emily teaches a powerful trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Manifesting to improve your personal and professional performance, clarity, health, and sleep. You’ll learn how to cultivate Mindfulness through brief but powerful exercises that will help you stop wasting time stressing. Plus, you’ll get Manifesting tools to help you get crystal clear on your personal and professional goals for the future.

Filled with fascinating real-life transformations, interactive exercises, and practical knowledge, Stress Less, Accomplish More introduces you to a revelatory daily practice and shows you how to make it work for your modern life.

    Yawwwwn yawwwn and yawn again.
    Just goes to show that anyone can write a "book" of useless information filled with ...

    I read this 2 years ago and didn't leave a review because I didn't want to be too harsh. I thought maybe I was not fully grasping the fill in the blank concept of this whole meditation thing. So last night I invited an experienced and well versed meditator and guru over to listen to this with me and...
    Nope. Wasn't me. Still a bunch empty air space that didn't teach the meditation method at all. It seemed like an infomercial on the benefits of her meditation brand but didn't explain how to perform the meditation to benefit from it. Probably wants more money.

    If you're already a long-time advanced meditator, this book may come out as super simplified. But if you're new to meditation, then this book is for you.

    Did I just listen 7 hours + to a sales pitch to get the full meditation course on your website? I’ll have to listen again to confirm. Maybe I got distracted along the lines.

    95% of the book is devoted to tell you why meditation is a good thing, and when the time finally comes for the author to teach you how to meditate, she appears to assume that you already know that meditation (at least the type of meditation she teaches) requires the repetition of a mantra, which I found rather disappointing, for a book that is supposed to teach how to do it.

    She introduced the Ziva meditation technique in the best way possible.
    Telling us the benefits of rest, why this type of meditation is beneficial, and then how to do it and then the different things that would happen when we eventually decide to start.
    Finally she wraps with loads of encouragement so we can be consistent and reap the long term benefits.
    God bless you, Emily!

    Absolutely one of the best reads I’ve ever encountered on meditation. I couldn’t decide whether to put the book down and incorporate her meditation techniques immediately or to jump to the next chapter to keep feeding my mind, body and soul with her wealth of information. I can only describe it as divine intervention for me to have discovered this book at this point in my life’s journey. Thanks a million!

    This book is a treasure! Emily's voice is heavenly and she makes everything seem so simple and funny. The way she delivers info is accesible and easy to comprehend with lots of funny analogies and jokes. The technique itself is super simple and that's probably what makes is so effective. Absolutely loved it!!
