If it wasn’t for meditation and gratitude and all the groovy things Light Watkins teaches, my picture might have ended up at the post office instead of on the back cover of my nineteen books.

Something you’re actually excited about. As I always say, if it’s not fun, it’s not sustainable. With this book, Light makes meditation fun, sustainable and ridiculously easy.
