Priscilla Warner co-authored The New York Times bestselling memoir The Faith Club, then toured the country for three years, popping Klonopin to stave off the terrifying panic attacks which had haunted her for decades. In the skies above Oklahoma, she read about Tibetan monks who meditated so effectively that neuroscientists were studying their brains. Vowing to find her inner monk, she learned how to meditate, and set out to change her own brain and mend her frayed nerves, chronicling her adventures with teachers, healers, therapists, monks and mystics. Priscilla’s memoir Learning to Breathe – My Yearlong Quest to Bring Calm to My Life, includes chapters on her studies with Sharon Salzberg, whose guided meditation Priscilla used while her own brain was studied by a neuroscientist at The University of Pennsylvania.
