Gentle prying apart of common preconceptions of meditation. Practical explanation of what meditation is and is not, what you can discover there, how to get started and how to keep coming back every day.

This book is broken down into the most american understanding of meditation of any book I have read so far. My power of "here and now" has advanced by leaps and bounds.

"Meditation Now or Never" strips down the misconceptions of meditation and gets down to the "nuts and bolts" of the practice. A wonderful book that stesses what meditation is and not what it does. A must for anyone who wants to understand the here and now.

It's never too late to get back to basics and put one's meditation practice on a firmer foundation. This book by Steve Hagen is succinct and an invaluable resource for the beginner meditator and a timely revision for those who have been meditating for some time.

Steve Hagen, the author of Buddhism: Plain and Simple,
is the best introduction to Zen and Buddhism you can find.
Written in language we regular folks can understand,
yet carrying the full meaning and experience
of the more ancient/esoteric writings.
Meditation is the bedrock
of fully experiencing the Zen and Buddhist message.
Meditation Now or Never should be a jewel in your personal tools pack.
I can not overly praise this man's works.
And he is a practicing monk as well.

An excellent guide for the new 'student' as well as a timely reminder for the experienced zen Buddhist student - about what the 'whole' thing

is really about...

Very good conditions, very well packaged, arrived very fast, .and a very good price for a wonderful book. I recommend it and i will look it for future purchases.

Dear Fellow Reader,

I keep coming back to this book, the basics. Paraphrasing an old Taoist saying, "Those who seek do not know; those who know do not seek." Everything you need is inside. But first take a look inside this book. Best wishes on your search.

So you want a book that will teach you about meditation. This will help. Read the cover, there it stands, meditation is about the now. Interesting but too simple. Continue reading and the message remains basically the same, it's now or never. This guy has been down the road of coaching a couple of times and he fills the book with plenty really practical ideas. But the message is so simple it's almost frustrating. If this book will help you come to terms with it's now or never then Steve would not have achieved his objective. If he has helped you live the now then the time invested in writing and reading it would be well spent. Maybe I will practice what he teaches when I have.... oops, meditation, it's now or never.
