I enjoyed reading all about the history of meditation and its benefits. While I liked reading about the different types of poses, I wish photos would have been included so that I could make sure that I am doing them correctly. Other than that, I found this to be quite informative.
Probably one of the best books on meditation I've read and I have meditated for about a decade and a half now, also have taught it for a number of years in the past. This is one of those books I wish I had when I first started out, but also one that I wish I had as my practice went along. It talks about everything from the very basics and into deeper levels of the practice, and things that you may have to overcome, techniques, tips, etc.
Long, a slog at times, but there's some interesting insights. The first meditation book I've seen that's (somewhat) grounded in science, cognitive and neuro.

Still, I found this book to be too extensive for its own good. Less than 200 pages would have sufficed for the author to adequately present his model of meditation to a layman audience. As is often the case with the genre of self-help and meditation books, one gets the impression Yates bulked up his work with useless esoteric fluff in order to give it an air of thoroughness. For anyone interested in an approach to meditation that is detatched from faux-spirituality, look into Autogenics as laid out by J.H. Schultz, Wolfgang Luthe, Luis de Rivera or Micah Sadigh.… (mais)
