Clark Strand cuts right to the heart of meditation, without dogma, gurus, religion, beliefs, or any of the other gunk that gets in the way of sincere and honest practice. In a beautiful style reminiscent of Thich Nhat Hanh, Strand has created the ideal meditation companion and guide. While Strand is probably among the few teachers who would never invite a following, he most certainly deserves one. If you read no other book on meditation, read this one. If you have other books on meditation, put them on the back shelf and read this one. If you have never meditated before and want a book to teach you how, read this one. This is the only meditation guide you will ever need. It is superb!

I had high hopes for this book, but was very disappointed. Being an individualist, I hoped this book would provide information on getting more out of meditation without seeking any kind of teacher. I was disappointed because this book lacks any spiritual heart. If you are looking for a book that strips meditation of its spiritual content, and is repackaged for a consumer society, then buy this book. If you seek a book that delves into the spiritual aspect of meditation, then look elsewhere.
