Hip-hop mogul, master entrepreneur, and best-selling author Russell Simmons stopped by Google recently to discuss his newest book, Success Through Stillness: Meditation Made Simple. I had no idea he was into meditation - maybe he can bring a different demographic into the world of meditation, which is disturbingly white in this country.

Russell Simmons, "Success Through Stillness: Meditation Made Simple" | Talks at Google

Published on Apr 29, 2014


Master entrepreneur, original hip-hop mogul, and New York Times bestselling author Russell Simmons shares the most fundamental key to success—meditation—and guides readers to use stillness as a powerful tool to access their potential.

In the New York Times bestseller Super Rich: A Guide to Having It All, Russell Simmons proved that to be rich is more than just having money in the bank—wealth is about balance, joy, and conscientious living.

In Success Through Stillness: Meditation Made Simple, Simmons shows the connection between inner peace and outward success through interviews with other successful leaders in various industries, and how learning to be still has been instrumental in his own career. Simmons attributes his meditation practice with changing his life for the better and says that there is no "bad" way to meditate, only different forms for different people.

In this new book, Russell Simmons guides readers into finding greater clarity and focus, and explains how to be healthier in both mind and body. Simmons breaks down what he's learned from masters of meditation into a guide that is accessible to those unfamiliar with the practice.
