I initially sat down to read this like a text book, but soon realised most of the short chapters are actually perfect meditation prompts. While I didn't see Adya's methods as very radical I found them very useful, both for reminding me of things I already know, and taking my meditation and awareness journey into a deeper level. It's also a very inclusive and heartfelt way to meditate.
I'm not sure about the edition of this book. i received a free PDF copy from NetGalley, which appears to be the original edition, from 2006 and references a CD. Obviously the PDF I received didn't have a CD, but I can't imagine that a paper book would either, or than many people still have a way to play CDs. Minor point. I would love a paper copy of this book to browse through and sit with the ideas presented.
