"This is a really simple and accessible introduction. It's one of those immutable laws of life, and my own experience that if you just follow these instructions with honesty an open mind and willingness it will all come together. Meditation is about getting to know who we are, about waking up and then giving up old our old ways of being. It can happen for anyone, it is the key to the chains of the bondage of self. Consistency same time same place every day for 20 minutes no matter what you feel like. Simple but not easy. Just do it for a month and see."

    " A down to earth introduction to the practice of meditation. A short book, making it easy to refer back to individual sections from time to time as you get on with the business of establishing a meditation practice. "

    " This was a great book for me to begin and better understand my desire to know more. I will be rereading this starting today and taking more time to digest the contents. I enjoyed the audio version very much; Jack's voice is soothing and delightful at the same time. He has a ticklish humor and many wonderful stories to tell. Enlightenment, joy and peace to all who read. I begin again. "
