This book has it all. All the techniques to improve concetration and meditation. The concepts can help you in all areas of life...especailly living in the present moment. A must read for anyone wanting and thirsting more out of every moment.

I checked the 2nd edition of this book out of my local library, and I was so impressed with it that I bought the 1st edition from a seller because the price was better than for the 2nd edition. I should have paid the difference. The 2nd edition has really been revised, not just edited. It has additional material, passages have been rewritten for clarity, and the layout is better. The 1st edition has picture illustrations, which I liked, but otherwise the 2nd edition is more complete and user friendly. The exercises are tremendous. This is a great book if you are looking for a guide to relaxation, meditation, and contemplation.

Everything's in here, if you were ever confused, these methods will undo it. Great reading that builds on each method. I will read this again and again.

After reading and practicing for some time now i have noticed that i hardly stress over anything like i usually would. I look at things from a different point of view and i am overall a better person after implementing most of these techniques in daily meditation. This book is great and covers a wide range of things that everybody deals with on a day to day basis.

A Must Read For all those Who want to Learn meditation step by step. Also for advance level meditators Who feel stuck !

This book was purchased as a gift for my 92 year old dad who never stops learning and improving. He LOVES it. He keeps saying he wants to share it with me but he can't let it go. Looks like I'll have to get my own copy. I guess he should be the reviewer to elaborate on how it has been of such value to him.

I have read quite a few books on this subject and I have found most to talk about being open and seeing for oneself, only to restrict the way one might do this.

While I will never try every exercise and perspective, there is much here to meet a mind's eye even if they have tried many such things before.

As a sit down read or for a few minutes of inspiration and exploration I think it is a wonderful book that I intend to wear out over time...

May we find what we are really looking for, even if it is nothing...

A great book. Has simple explicit instructions that are easy to follow. I recommend this book to anyone. I wish they would put out a cd to help you get into some of the practices. I would buy that immediately also. Thanks for a wonderful book

The book never arrived from the vendor and I paid for it. Amazon did nothing to assist me.
Thanks
