I enjoy volumes on yoga and meditation and even where books on the same subject overlap, I can often find new nuggets to hold onto. The point of view in this book is quite different from others I've read. Firstly, this book insists on a higher power and calls this God in the monotheistic sense. So, if you follow a Buddhist tradition and are offended by monotheistic references, skip this one. Some of the book indicates a connection between meditation and the law of attraction and might be appealing to those practitioners. There are several prompts for visualization suggestions during meditation which were unique and interesting as well.

A definitive guide to the wonders of meditation. This book is all encompassing as the author explains the various health and mental benefits of meditation. It is a must read for everyone who meditates, or is considering a meditation practice. I particularly recommend this as a learning tool, a health guide and a go to book for all who meditate.
I have used meditation as a tool in my health tool kit for over 40 years and found this book a critical way to improve my own practice and incorporate many of the authors suggestions. Every reader will benefit from this as meditation improves mental and physical health. With this book as a guide you cannot go wrong beginning a practice, learning about proper techniques and the benefits behind meditation. I highly recommend this book.
The ARC did not influence my review.

A good bookand a pleasant read, with some interesting nuggets like the chapter on meditating in Nature. However, with too many books on midfulness and meditation published every day it isn't really the one which stands out of the average.

This was disappointing to me. It was more a lecture on the author's experiences and philosophies. I was hoping for a practical guide to learning meditation. Perhaps my expectations were in error.
