Study replicates the finding that meditation boosts ego instead of having the often claimed effect of attenuating it. I was never more arrogant than when meditating for hours everyday over the course of nearly 10 years. There is no wisdom in it and no enlightenment

Replication of a study that found that people who engage in practices like mediation do not have lower self-focus. Its the opposite: “As they increasingly viewed themselves as skillful at mind-body practices, they tended to feel that they were better than other people overall.”
