Wow, this is a fantastic book on Vipassana meditation. Funny story as to why I read it now . . . a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to read something on meditation, having recently started a practice again. So, I was looking on my shelves for “It’s Easier Than You Think,” which I remember as being a good book. But in looking, this book caught my eye, and I thought, “Hmnh. What is that? I didn’t remember buying it, and I wasn’t sure what it was about based on the title.” So, I pulled it out, and, well, lookie here! It’s about meditation! Well, if that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is. Turns out I must have read at least parts of it before, since a couple of the pages were dogeared, but I don’t remember much of it at all. It’s a wonderful book, with lots of discussion on Vipassana (or mindfulness) meditation, and a few guided meditations to try, as well. Plus there’s lots of general spiritual guidance here. I’d highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to meditate, or go deeper with their practice.
