The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Programme for Real Happiness: Written by Sharon Salzberg, 2011 Edition, Publisher: Hay House UK [Paperback] Paperback – 12 Aug. 2011

This book is very informative and although I don't like all the meditation suggestions it's very interesting how the author considers all styles and ways to meditate. The recordings don't come with the ebook and you need these if you want to practice some of the meditations otherwise you will have to read and record them yourself. You can't meditate and read at the same time

I bought this course book and CD to supplement the mediatation practice I started quite a while ago. I've worked with the first part of the CD and found that Ms Salzberg is a supportive and helpful teacher. She facilitates sessions well with down to earth and simply structured steps. She also has a good voice tone. Her whole message is to be kind to yourself and not to meditatate in a self critical way. I've also staring reading what appears to be a succinct introduction to meditation so I'm looking forward to using it and gaining from it.

for any practitioner who wants to add further information and research to their knowledge and skills, give more in depth outlines to practice.

Accessible introduction to meditation and general Buddhist modes of thought. Promotes a positive approach to living, which is a refreshing relief from this stress-filled, goal-driven society in which we live.

I have practiced Zen Meditation for years from the same roots as Sharon Salzberg. I found her book not only easy to read, but the explanations to the things I hadn't quite understood were very helpful. I really recommend it.

A good read for the beginner to meditation, accompanied by a very informative cd. An easy read which would encourage you to try meditation.

Book described as very good condition however in reality it had quite a large amount of orange highlight throughout which given the genre of the text detracts from making it personal to the reader. A bit disappointing.

An extremely helpful book for anyone who is in need of a vipassana teacher and doesn't have one, Sharon's way of teaching is enlightening and very straight to the practical point.
