Something to keep in mind for meditation is that it's not just to "hack your brain". Even though it can indeed improve your performance etc. But if you think of meditation as something that you necessarily always have to do "for" a specific (capitalistic) purpose, you're missing part of it. It's about connecting to the part of yourself that simply IS. Being comfortable with pure being, for the sake of it. Liberating yourself from the need to do everything for a specific external reason, even though it will help those external reasons, and becoming comfortable with existence for the sake of existence. I recommend listening to some of Alan Watts' lectures on meditation, he explains the Daoist and Buddhist philosophies behind it. And it's not this super serious thing either, it can be done in between moments, accessing the pure beingness of your consciousness, that inner peace beyond all the external choices you make, the social games you play.
