I think I was expecting a groundbreaking discovery about what meditation was and how to put a new spin on it. The book has a very basic overview of meditation practices in the first of four parts. I though that Part 3 was most useful; it recommended places to incorporate mindfulness into everyday activities.

Excellent and easy to follow practices for someone new to meditation (and who isn't interested in a spiritually-based practice). I really like that there was a wide variety of types of meditation, from loving-kindness to mindfulness of the breath to simply finding joy by saying yes. They were discussed in clear language with helpful examples and stories from the Humanist Community participants.
