The general take
Dave Asprey is enthusiastic about 40 Years of Zen, claiming he's spent six months doing the neurofeedback training with electrodes and describing each week as equivalent to 20-40 years of daily meditation. He presents it as effective enough to rival spiritual practices he's learned from monks around the world.
