Does daily meditation actually increase your concentration/confidence/self-esteem?

I've read many news articles and so far the conclusion is that it's at best marginally beneficial and worst is that it's just a placebo. There's seems to be no real scientific backing for it like there is for 7-9 hours of sleep.

That's funny because the leading science right now is in bio-engineering and meditation is as close as you are going to get to your cells. Newtonian physics is a scam because it's profitable doctors will sell it.

Meditate, everyday mate. Also read Biology of Belief.

Yes. Placebos that work are still beneficial, by the way. Just try it for a month, or at least two weeks, and decide for yourself. I started with "Mindfulness in Plain English" and after a while, "The Mind Illuminated". The latter has fewer "religious" aspects to it, but you can also skip over those in the first one if they trigger you.

Personally, I think secularizing it, trying for this new corporate stress-free mindfulness movement, will limit you and discourage you and would advise against it. Meditation is one part of a constant practice, if you don't apply it to the rest of your life you will miss out on many of its (in my opinion most powerful) benefits.

there's plenty of science on it, but the best thing is to actually give it a shot. read this for starters: http://www.meditationexpert.com/ebok/howtomeditate.pdf
here's a whole bunch of audio guided meditations I put together from a few different sources, give them a shot and see which one 'clicks' after a few weeks I suppose: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9avnnk9e5180bon/Meditation.zip

Then how do explain the vitality I feel when I'm on my Newtonian physics gummy supplements?
