If you need any proof about the value of meditation--read this book. Not really a "how to" but more of a "why do"!!There are good discussions on meditation techniques and methods but he real value in the book is its presentation of what mediation does. A must for those in the medical field.
The first part of the book is the only one worth reading. Well written, and certainly an interesting read. The rest of the book, which is more than 70% of the book, is badly written and extremely boring.People who have never meditated should abstain from writing about meditation. Meditation is too big of a subject to tackle it only from the "scientific" point of view. There are very few things that science can thoroughly explain. Meditation is certainly not one of them.
I gave this book five stars because it covers a wide range of reasons why meditation works, including the science behind it: it is full of stories of people's experience getting well, overcoming long-standing issues like chronic depression, physical illness, etc. It's a credibility builder for even the most skeptical reader. I highly recommend a thoughtful read.
Amazing, penetrating book on meditationand how it effects our mind and body.Recommended to all interested in personal growthand transformation / science of the mind.Written in a very engaging way.The book exposes some amazing individuals whounderstand meditation practice from the inside out, throughtheir own experience, practice and knowledge.
