In recent years, mainstream Americans have begun to come around to meditation in a big way-and scientific studies are suggesting that the physical and mental benefits are solid and real. But to many, it remains something mystical and inaccessible...and spiritually-oriented tomes on the market don't do much to make it easier. nn nnAs interest in meditation continues to grow, this book offers a simple, no-nonsense program to help beginners experience reduced stress and increased focus in only eight minutes a day. Designed by meditation expert and bestselling author Victor Davich, this program teaches the basic principles of meditation while clearing up the misconceptions and myths that too often get in the way.

Davich (The Best Guide to Meditation) has written a book ideally suited to the moment-swift, light, surefooted, brief, easy to read, and offering the promise of results in very little time. That said, Davich's little guide to meditation is indeed humorous, wise, effective, and resolutely nonsectarian: his work should offer readers of many faiths and traditions the opportunity to insert a bit of meditation into their lives and, as Davich promises, carry that meditation forward toward loving kindness.
