Written for the general reader, this book teaches, in a clear and concise way, how and why to meditate. The reader can pick up this book and, after reading it in one or two sessions, begin enjoying the benefits of meditating. Many see meditation a mystical practice. Halperin, convincingly persuades his readers that everyday people with busy lives filled with careers, kids, family, & friends can find great benefit in meditation. He describes how meditation can relieve the stresses of daily life and provide a welcome relaxation. In our goal-oriented, high-octane society, it is easy to approach meditation with the same do-it-right or don't-do-it-at-all mentality. But his calming explanation of how to meditate helps the reader release the grip of doing and replace it with just being."...contibutes to the world from a place of strength and peacefulness" --Midwest Book Review
