 Excellent, clearly explained, and brilliant. June 24, 2004
30 out of 30 found this review helpful
I am not a new age in touch with my inner child sort of person, in fact pretty much the opposite. I dont believe in most of the politically correct, new age nonsense that is about these days, but this book is totally not about that. And boy did it open my eyes to what actual meditation is. It clearly explains what meditation is about and also explains what it can do for you and how to go about meditating. As someone who has never meditated before and never had any intention of doing so I can thoroughly recommend this book for all those wishing to start. There is no bias or any religious or "philosophical" overtones, he simply explains how to meditate. A brilliant book if youre thinking about learning to meditate.
An excellent way to learn from scratch March 30, 2004

If you've never meditated before and wish to start then this is undoubtedly the book for you.
It's clear and straight forward in it's explaination of method. It pushes no religion or philosophy on to the reader.
An e-book version of this would be an excellent addition so that the reader could print out the single sheets of a meditation to aid them in learning them by heart.
My only advice for those about to purchase this book is that 20 exercises is NOT 20 full meditations.. some of those of spot meditations which hold smaller benefit and reward but are still very helpful. Especially the Freeze, Defrost one.
 Really clear and no-nonsense February 15, 2002

A really practical guide covering many different techniques and approaches, excellent even for a total beginner like me. Manages to de-mystify the whole thing.
Excellent book for beginners July 20, 2001

I examined a number of books to try and get into meditation as quickly and painlessly as possible and this book did it best. Most of the others follow some religious dogma in varying degrees which may interest some but not for me. This book was down to earth easy to follow and apply and it works. Try it!
very clear instructions and descriptions of mediation June 9, 2000
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
By far the clearest book on meditation I have ever read. It does not attempt to go too deeply into any philosophical or religious topics and is thankfully free from too much 'hocus pocus'. Many different forms of meditation are covered without demonstrating obvious bias towards the author's preferences. The instructions are very clear, allowing the reader to get started and begin to experience each method at first hand. This is much more effective than lengthy description. I suppose that very experienced practitioners of any meditation style would find the book superficial, but then I'm sure that they are not the target audience. To my mind, the book's clarity and freshness are very representative of the actual experience of meditation. I strongly recommend it.
