I'm a big fan of meditation. Being a CEO is stressful – and state control is an important tool in my arsenal.
I've previously written articles on two tools I rely on to help me meditate – Muse and Holosync.
And it's not just me … Joe Polish did an interview with Russell Simmons on the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, there are several other successful entrepreneurs that swear by daily meditation, and studies show a difference between the brains of people who meditate and people who don't.
But what about expert-level meditators? The ones that have put more than 10,000 hours in. The ones that don't just use it as a tool, but as a necessary part of their day.
Turns out, they literally think differently – their brainwaves show gamma waves all the time as a lasting trait just no matter what they’re doing. It’s not a state effect, it’s not during their meditation alone, but their everyday state of mind.

I like several guided meditation apps.
In addition, I like these too.
- Focus@Will (background music for different moods)
- Brain.FM (AI created music to enhance focus, relaxation, meditation, naps & sleep)
- Meditation Music (5-minute songs, inhale at the bell, exhale at the next bell … repeat)
- Zen Wellness (courses about meditation, Qi Gong, etc.)
- Muse (brain sensing headband and app to help you know whether you are relaxing)
I also recommend 40 Years of Zen. This is a 5-day program that leverages neurofeedback technology and guidance to help you unlock and expand your potential.
Lots of cool stuff here!
Onwards!
