This book has a lot of good info on meditation.  It's too bad that what was wrong with this book got in the way of what was right with this book.  I could see the spirit and intention of this book was as a sort of lightweight primer on the topic, nothing too heavy, and yet impart some good info so the reader could get started.One of the problems was that there was nothing that actually *outlined* the process of meditation. No sample of how it is done, no script to follow, no two to five step process.  Someone who came in cold, knowing little to nothing about the topic would still be a little in the dark about how to actually *start doing* it.Then there was a suggestion that it would be OK to meditate while driving.  Hopefully I never have to share the road with the author while he's practicing this.  Then there were the small handful of grammar and punctuation errors, not as bad as some writing I've seen, but could still be a little distracting for some.Lastly, there was a weird spot right after Chapter 3, that the reader should skip to Chapter 6 to read things to keep in mind as they begin their practice.  Followed by ways of ending meditation in Chapter 4--this just seemed strangely out of order to me.Again, throughout this whole book, there was a lot of solidly good info about meditation, but it suffered from the book's problems.  If the author went back and cleaned up these issues, they could have a pretty good book on their hands.
