Techniques
Dr. Alok Kanojia emphasizes the transformative power of meditation by teaching the basics of controlling impulses and focusing the mind. He explains that meditation is like "lifting weights for self-control," strengthening the frontal lobes to resist impulses 1. Teaching meditation to children can be particularly effective, as they quickly grasp these concepts, similar to learning a new language 2. Kanojia argues that the decline in meditation teaching quality is due to reliance on apps rather than expert guidance, noting that there are 112 meditation techniques, one of which will naturally suit each individual 3.

Kanojia also notes that when individuals take responsibility for their recovery, such as paying for therapy, they are more likely to succeed 5.
