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!
