" Very good, clear & funny "

" 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. "

" 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. "
