Description

From our bestselling author of Buddhism Plain and Simple, a straightforward guide to meditation In the modern world our lives are more frenetic than ever. We live with a burning sense that we have to get something done. But what do we really achieve? And why are we never satisfied?

Bestselling author and teacher Steve Hagen provides an accessible and thorough manual on meditation, for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. He offers simple practices that avoid needlessly complicating meditation; highlights where many of us get stuck in meditating - and how to get unstuck; and, above all, focuses on meditation not simply as a spiritual technique, but as a way of living.
