When Vanessa Potter woke up one morning blind and paralysed, she was astonished to discover that it was meditating, not drugs that saved her, helping her on the road to recovery.
'A fascinating whistle-stop read through ten different ways to train the mind, written in the context of learning to be the best that we can be for ourselves, our families and our loved ones. It doesn't matter what you think you may know about meditation, consciousness or yourself, there is much to be learnt here' Isabel Losada, bestselling author.
Working with neuroscientists on a unique 'citizen science' experiment, wearing a portable EEG headset that records her brain activity, Vanessa becomes a human guinea pig, investigating whether meditation can transform her life, forever.
Books on meditation normally teach us how to meditate – not what happens when we try. For the curious or sceptic alike, Vanessa provides an unusually voyeuristic and often humorous glimpse into how powerful the right practice can be.

Before becoming a self-experimenting science communicator, Vanessa Potter spent 16 years as an award-winning broadcast producer working in the London ad industry. In October 2012 she was struck down by a rare neurological illness that temporarily rendered her blind and paralysed. Following her recovery, she collaborated with neuroscientists at Cambridge University to design an interactive immersive exhibition, based on her therapeutic use of meditation, and gave a TEDx talk about her experiences. Finding Her Right Mind is her second book; her first, Patient H69 narrates how her curiosity for answers led her to investigate the science behind her lost sight.
