Among other things, I write books and practise meditation. Rooted in the traditions of both Buddhism and Christian silent prayer, my previous publications have explored a contemplative approach to mental and emotional distress. I've got a book coming out this summer - The Zen of Ben: Cricket in the Moment (Pitch, August 17, 2026) - that extends this perspective to contemporary sport and its many levels of meaning - psychological, ritual, cultural, emotional, and many more.
