Pretty basic, but giving it a go.
Didn't actually finish as I had to give it back.
Stuff you already know, but have to practice. Daily. That's hard.

Basically, I can sum this book up as "awareness is good". But I do agree that awareness is good, and it's useful to have more specific ways of practicing awareness than just saying that. 8 guided meditations with discussions motivating their selection and how they fit into the rest of your life. Fairly lightweight, but probably a good first book about meditation practice.

The book in concise, does not drag the reader into any advanced philosophy of meditation. The accompanying audio CD is very helpful.

When it comes to meditation, just as any new thing, patience is the mantra.

Insightful

Well-reasoned and clearly written. Probably the best book on prayer I've read in quite some time, regardless of your faith tradition it is well worth a read

I think it may have been better if I had the accompanying audio cd.
