[Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book on meditation. Not too verbose, and it tries to keep things simple and understandable for people who are trying to begin to include meditation in their daily lives. I would say this is a pretty great place for the layperson to start, and that it puts out an easily remembered set of practices to progress through for the beginner.

The book have some nice ideas on meditation. But the most part of it is full of spiritual writings. Not for me

[Steve Goble · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read about half of this and moved on to other stuff, not because of any real fault of the book itself but because the early going covered material I was familiar with and because I was just in a mood for something more fun. This was a bit dry, at least in the early chapters.
