This review is from: Moving Inward: The Journey to Meditation (Paperback)
Our society has become one in which people expect immediate gratification. Take this pill and you'll be better; buy this item for $19.99 plus shipping and handling, and you'll have 6-pack abs within 30 days. Meditation is not an easy process; nevertheless if one is serious and sufficiently disciplined to pursue the process of meditation over one's lifetime, I would highly recommend this book. It is the best that I have read over the last 30 years, and it's a great book for both beginners and those who have been practicing meditation for years.
