The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness by Andy Puddicombe
4.0
Very straight forward, down to earth, "secular" and practical approach to mindfulness. I was afraid that the book was going to be a mean to sell Puddicombe's Headspace program, but it isn't.
The book is didactic and presents an easy approach to the subject. The journey of Andy Puddicombe is quite interesting, and having been a regular guy from UK (i.e., a westerner) who went from a Sports Science student to a monk, and then became teacher and speaker, with all sorts of experiences in between all around the world, gives him a very special perspective.
I can't judge the methodology, I don't know if it works, I don't know if 10 minutes a day can make a difference, but sure enough if you're curious about the subject from a practical point of view, without the heaviness of a religious or philosophical framework, the book is worth reading, and seems to be a good starting point.
