Mind Space - Discovering Meditation Without the Meditator

Mind Space is both a practical guide and a visionary manifesto, offering a liberating alternative for a culture weary of striving. It will appeal to those seeking freedom not as a technique to master, but as an intimacy already present in life itself.

Purser’s McMindfulness became an international bestseller (265 Amazon reviews, 1,244 ratings on Goodreads), translated in multiple languages, and sparked a global media debate. He has appeared in over 100 outlets, including The New York Times, The Guardian, Financial Times, The Nation, BBC, CBC, NPR, and on TV with Chris Hedges and Lee Camp, establishing him as a leading voice on contemporary spirituality.

Inspired by Tibetan Buddhist master Tarthang Tulku’s Time, Space, and Knowledge, Purser reimagines meditation for today not as discipline or achievement, but as seeing differently. The true obstacle, he shows, is not distraction but the subtle “inner meditator” always striving to get practice “right.”

Arrives at a cultural moment of burnout with self-optimization and “wellness hacks.” Speaks to meditators, seekers, and general readers disillusioned with mindfulness-as-commodity.

Grounded, jargon-free writing—no retreats, religious lineage, or esoterica required.

Includes simple exercises that help readers feel the shift, not just think about it.

For readers of Pema Chödrön, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Sam Harris, Jenny Odell, and Jack Kornfield
