The best there is on meditation.

I have several books on meditation. Somehow I always tend to pick up this one. It is quite inspiring. I started off with a Dutch pocket version of this title, but recently I purchased the 'updated' one in English. Very clear and to the point, written with lots of humour. It makes me want to go for it straight away and that's just what I need.

Great stimulus.

This book gave me permission to meditate for short periods, when I couldn't or didn't want to take the time for a "session." The 30 variations are interesting and worthwhile, and Part 3, on application, offers invaluable nuggets of wisdom.

One of the most practical meditation books

If you want to integrate meditation into your "regular" life, check out this book. Many meditation books explain how to meditate, but they treat meditation as if it's separate from the rest of daily life. This book has the most practical advice and tools that I've seen.

Excellent!

I'm amazed to converse with friends.We have "circuitry overload" in our western lifestyle.....having all types of external amenities but still "not happy". Everyone NEEDS to learn this mental exercise. Harp introduces us to meditation and it's virtues....and sort of modernizes it. He is also open enough to tell us where he falls short and how he uses it in his daily life. Bottom line; we can have "everything" but unless we process properly from an internal view...we really have minimal. Meditation is one vehicle to allow us to get rid of the "drunken monkeys" to help enjoy our everyday efforts and gains. Great for the beginner...however when I find myself getting off "meditation track"...Harp's book is the one I grab for.Good job, David!

This is a wonderful book to start you on your way.

I resisted buying this book because of its title. It smacked of the "instant enlightenment" idea so popular with the American public. Reading it changed my mind. I have read many books on meditation and what always came up was the problem of actually sitting down and putting it to use. Twenty minutes is a really long time for someone not used to meditating. This book gets you started, and what more is there to say? It takes away the intimidation and starts you on a solid path. You can do one breath, one minute, or three minutes and, eventually, go on to regular periods of meditation if you desire. I have given copies of this book to several friends and they have said the same thing. Learn the joy of meditation! This is a great start.
