"While this book focuses on a meditation practice I have yet to embrace, it is full of useful information about how we form false perceptions about ourselves and how to resolve them."
"I read this book as part of my "get rid of psorisis in 2009" campaign. In my research, I read about a study where patients undergoing UV treatment for psorisis who listened to the body scan meditation associaited with this book showed more improvement than patients who didn't. I'm not undergoing UV treatment, but I thought it couldn't hurt to see what this book has to say. Plus, I was intrigued by the title.
This is not a thin book. It is very, very long and as my library due date approached, I had to read 50 pages per night to finish it. However, despite it's length, this book does more than any other book I have come across, to take the woo-woo out of meditation and yoga.
What this book asks you to do is not easy: spend 45 minutes per day meditating or doing yoga. One of the points made by the author is that in order to integrate this thing that will make your life easier into your life, you must first deal with making your life harder. It is a pain to make time every day for "the practice" but by week four three people asked me if I'd been on vacation lately. "You look so calm" they said.
Looking like I've been on vacation without actually going? I can get on board with that."
"This is a book about meditation and the author's experience and teaching methods, his research over the years and how his programme is now used in hospitals worldwide.
It is very easy to understand and very interesting and inspiring. It is probably the best book on the subject of health that has been written in the last twenty years.
The first half of the book is smooth and easy to read. The second half is a bit more slow because it becomes quite condensed with information.
However, having finished the book I was highly impressed.
This is the only material on the subject of meditation and its benefits that I have ever fully understood and recognised. Written in a way that makes the subject easily accessible."
"I came across this several years ago. I read it, along with his shorter "Wherever You Go There You Are," a few pages at a time before I meditate. I've read them both twice now, cover to cover. Most helpful, realistic, gentle, true writing about stress reduction and TRYING to live "in the now" that I've ever read."
