It took me a rather long time to get through this book, but not due to a lack of enjoyment of it. As with [b: Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenters, and Seymour: An Introduction|5114|Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour An Introduction|J.D. Salinger|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390770647s/5114.jpg|1839410] I took the time I did in order to better absorb the lessons present within the book and allow it to seep into my mind. I can't adequately say whether or not it will stick with me, but I am happy to report that I thoroughly enjoyed the wisdom in this book and believe it has a lot to offer the average reader.

I'm a great fan of Buddhism and Zen teachings, and I believe that this book offered a fine selection of both without alienating anyone coming to it from another religious background. The bulk of the advice within the book is wholly secular, and although easy upon the surface it becomes difficult in practice. Nevertheless, that is life. Rarely is something worth doing not a bit challenging to do.

I enjoyed the advice and the poetry of the book itself. I found its offers on how to practice helpful, and have implemented some of its teachings into my day to day life. Books like these are easy enough to come by, but they serve as a rather helpful reminder that life often isn't as serious as we make it all out to be. I was lucky enough to have this book come into my life entirely by accident (I had put another book about Buddhism on hold and a kind stranger accidentally offered this one up along with the requested title.) Since this came into my life via such amusing means, I thought it best I read it. I'm happy I did.… (altro)

Buddha’s Book of Sleep is the first book to address sleep disturbances with techniques from mindfulness meditation. Yet this is a natural choice—mindfulness meditation has proven effective for psychological problems such as stress, depression, and anxiety, and these very issues are what become sleep problems when your head hits the pillow.

I know it works for me when I keep successfully falling asleep at about 5-10 minutes into lying on my pillow. It produces deeper rest than I normally experience, clear through until my alarm clock turns on or cellphone is paged. Excellent reliability so far; essentially the same results every time I have used it -- even if my mind was buzzing with details when I first turned out the lights.

This book is very helpful for relaxation as well as supporting sleep. Keep an open mind and this will bring you wonderful sleep...thru the entire night. I almost can't wait to crawl in to bed so that I may drift off. I recommend this to all my friends -- at the very least, it has NO side effects. I'm really grateful. Thanks for writing this terrific book!… (altro)
