Even if you never get around to trying meditation, this book will give you an appreciation of it.

This book is EXTREMELY basic. I would only recommend it to people who have never heard of meditation and are looking for something that explains what meditation is. There are a few exercises in the book, but it much more about the theory of meditation than the actual practice.
You can skim the exercises in about 20 minutes for the most useful parts of the book, but it's really not a how-to manual. If you're looking for a book on how to get started meditating and relaxing and have ever gone to a yoga class or know a little bit about meditation in general, this is probably not the way to go.

This author did a good job of breaking things down for a western reader and made meditation and relaxation techniques seem like something approachable. He definitely makes it clear that this isn't an all-or-nothing type of venture and makes sure expectations are set unrealistically high.
I am trying one of the relaxation techniques and eventually may get around to meditating.
We shall see...
