A Modest Guide to Meditation

Category: Self-Help

This book is intentionally short and simple-the clearest, most user-friendly guide to meditation that you will ever read. It's not only a "how to" book, but also a "why" book. It explains the basic approaches of all the different traditions, but emphasizes individuality. You must explore until you find the approach that works best for you. In order to play a concerto, a musician must first learn his scales. This book instructs you in practicing the "scales" of meditation. This guide also discusses the dangers of meditation for people suffering from mental illness-a long overdue discussion, which is missing from most other books on the subject.
