Read a 20% of the book. Was good so far but not what I was is the mood for atm. The author discussed that meditation could help but not exactly how to approach it. Will give it another try later on.

A very useful book for those struggling to find their way.

4.5 stars
I wasn't initially sure what to expect when I received this e-arc from NetGalley, but I can confidently say that what little idea I did have was far exceeded.

This is a short and accessible read for practitioners of all walks of life, but being a yoga instructor in my 20s in NYC, this just clicked. Part memoir, part how-to, Yael Shy's way of dissecting meditation into bite sized pieces can not be underestimated. I often found myself highlighting lengthy passages to bring out in my own teachings because her descriptions are just that good. My commute will be a little dimmer without this little book to keep me company, but I'm already looking forward to buying a physical copy that I can write in and refer back to on days when words just fail me. I'm positive a couple of friends will also be getting copies from me this holiday season, and I would recommend this book to any others interested in meditation or Buddhist teachings without reservation.
