(2013) across 209 studies show MBT superior to controls for psychiatric symptoms, with no publication bias. Grossman et al. (2004) meta-analysis of 20 MBSR studies confirms moderate effects on stress reduction (ES=0.54). The memoir format makes evidence accessible for skeptics, backed by Harris's journalistic rigor and citations to studies on brain changes
