bionicjulia's review against another edition

Picked this up on a whim as it was on sale. I had no idea who Dan Harris was, as I don't watch American news. This book is, I would say, mostly auto-biographical and is written from the point of view of Harris as he somewhat reluctantly discovers meditation and learns more and more about it, despite being extremely sceptical.
This book is for people who hold a cynical view of meditation and who perhaps want to be convinced otherwise. This book is not for people who already buy into the benefits of meditation, but want to go in-depth into the science and practice of it.

I actually wasn't sure about this book, as I didn't know the author, but I found that I had a lot in common with his story and had similar experiences and views on meditation. A fun and inspiring read.

I wasn’t exactly sure what I expected from this book... I guess to come out at least 10% happier after I finished it, but I’m still at same level of happiness that I was before I picked this book up. Learned some things about meditation for sure, but mostly I got bored at parts of this book.
