This book was recommended to me.  I have tried many times over the years to meditate but have never been successful.  I've always been easily distracted by noises and was never able to focus.  So I bought this book with a certain amount of skepticism.  What a wonderful surprise!  I don't know if it's because I'm older and more open to meditation but with the help of this book I'm having success.  I use the mantra and breathing method and find that I can achieve mindfulness after about 3 minutes.  I hope to extend that time with more practice.  I think the secret to meditation is not trying to force it to work but rather "letting" it work and accepting even the distractions as a part of the experience.
