+## How to Master Your Mind in 100 Minutes
+
+If you are thinking of reading the book "Search Inside Yourself," you can also check out a very short summary of it in a book called "How To Master Your Mind in 100 Minutes: Increase Productivity, Creativity and Happiness (Collins Shorts, Book 8)." However, it is not the whole story!

+
+There was a study which tested the development of antibodies (flu shots). One control group meditated, the other didn't before they were given flu shots. Those in the meditation group developed more antibodies to the influenza vaccine than the ones who didn't. Another study revealed, that mindfulness can greatly accelerate the healing of a skin condition known as psoriasis.
