I bought this book almost 3 years ago and it took that long to work through each chapter ….Yes I know that’s not very Zen of me.
I would recommend this to anyone who would like to explore the practice of meditation as the content is not to over the top and more importantly the book comes with a CD that allows you, after each chapter, to practice what you read with the guidance of a master. It gently reminds you through your meditation to re-focus and (vital to a restless beginner like me) indicate when each meditation session is done.
Books that explore eastern practices normally feel intimidating and foreign but this one is worth the effort. You don’t need to buy into all the theory behind this practice as it allows you the experience of (trying) to being still, mindful and present in the moment – something most people cannot even contemplate.
I cannot claim that this book has converted me completely to the practice of meditation, what it has done is made me understand the starting point and given me a work in progress I can revisit anytime.

Found this book while staying at my aunt’s house and learned that one of my uncles is great at meditating! Couldn’t have come at a better time.

This is a very interesting lifestyle choice. The author gives ample justification for beginning a meditation practice followed quickly with simple explanations and practical advice. Nothing is overly pushy, the steps to success are moderate and not overwhelming, and the language isn't hokie.
If you think meditation might be for you, this is a great place to begin. The audio disc doesn't hurt either.

An excellent introduction to a meditation practice. The author explained the process very clearly, and offered great examples. Definitely useful as I begin my practice.
