Review From LibraryThing:

There are many good reasons to start meditating. Meditation can relieve stress, promote relaxation, and improve your outlook—but most of all, meditation is about waking up to life, to all its choices and possibilities.

With an engaging mix of anecdote, humor, and clear instruction, Martine Batchelor shows that you don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from meditation. She explains the life-enhancing

an evocative photograph from Stephen Batchelor, inviting us to see the world around us with new eyes.… (altro)

Những kiến thức, đề nghị và chia sẻ trong cuốn sách có thể hữu ích với những người chưa thiền tập.
