This must be the best book I’ve read on mediation! It progressively teaches the reader how best to meditate. There is also a free CD on the inside cover of the book with about eight different mediations with a voice that is really relaxing, clear and calm - this is a massive plus for me as I’m very fussy! The fact that most books are actually cheaper on Waterstones than on other major online stores was also a lovely surprise! The delivery was free and received promptly! Highly recommend both the book and Waterstones online services

Read and used as intended, with an open mind and willingness to change, this book will give you back your life and help you make the most of every minute of it. I have been so inspired by it that I have signed up to a mindfulness workshop, with a view to moving on to the eight week course and possible even becoming a counsellor. I have bought several copies for fremds and lent my own many atimes, and always with good results. Buy it. Read it. Follow it.

Great book for everyone with an open mind and will to help themselves

Working well for me as part of a "Mindfulness in Schools Project" study course. I cannot tell how easy it would be to follow if used as a stand alone book.

It makes sense and is very easy to read & to follow & to fit into a normal life. It's important to me that it's written by someone with a scientific background & free of any mumbo jumbo. It's too early to say whether it will be life changing - if so, I'd upgrade it to 5 stars!
