To the author : I find your article really insightful. I want to read more but I realize this article is not on your homepage. There might be more stuff that you have written and is unlisted. How can i find it all.

OP is in large degree one articulation of foundational mindfulness concepts that have been written about for centuries.

What about the OP specifically appeals? Happy to point you at some other things if I can.

I can recommend the Waking Up app. It has a well paced and well done introduction to mindfulness in a very similar style to the linked article. If interested, I can share a link for a free 30-day trial.

I have no affiliation and get no kickback. It has simply been quite useful for me.

The Mind Illuminated is a book with a similar style.

I was reminded of my all-time favourite book on meditation / mindfulness: Mindfulness in Plain English by Henepola Gunaratana. The article had a similar style. Gunaratana’s book is full of humour and beautiful writing and I’d recommend it as a brilliant guide to anyone interested in this stuff.

i usually post here first, and then add to the homepage later. i'll fix that next couple of days.

This article is not listed on the homepage. That’s what I said.

Ah, my mistake - I misread that you were saying that there was no link back to their homepage from this article. Apologies!
