Meditation is one of those things I feel like I am always to look to improve on. I felt the author was talking to me and not at me, which is hugely important to me. I would absolutely consider this more of a place to start for people beginning, or having a hard time with the practice of meditation.

Bliss more is a wonderful book on meditation. It shows you how without trying. It is simple and easy to follow. I think this would be good for anyone just starting meditation.

This was a great read with lots of food for thought, I thoroughly enjoyed it. At first I was not getting into the story line as presented but then realized the point. That being that life has many challenging and tough moments and these stories were presenting that in a way to apply what was being taught. Well done and worth re-reading the lessons and concepts again.

This is the first book I've ever read that is exclusively about meditation. I'm glad I read it. It's not the first and last word about meditation, but it's a good start to get past some initial barriers. If you're an experienced meditator and you have a routine that works for you, you probably don't need this book. Unless you're looking for a gift for someone who is interested in meditation but having trouble getting over some mental barriers to begin.

I like to read widely about yoga and meditation. I find that even if the information is a repeat for me, I often get a good nugget of insight or a new way of looking at something. This book has a few good nuggets which made it worthwhile. However, I was a bit confused by the hypocrisy inherent in the premise: meditation doesn’t need to be as rigid as you have been taught; follow my instructions without modification to achieve bliss. The tone of the book was also off putting in many places. I wouldn’t recommend this as a single book for someone looking for an introduction to meditation. But, for folks who are always looking for new takes, there are a few interesting bits here.

Watkins covers a lot of the reasons many people are unsuccessful with mediation and ultimately give up. Her suggestions and advice are simple yet effective as she walks a novice through many challenges to achieve their enlightenment goals.
