Product Description
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.
As 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.

The back of the book was talking specifically to me, 2008-08-30
I always did want to try meditation, but like many things its very intimidating thing to get into and stay into, because you often have to buy some religious or other teaching with it, or it just doesn't fit into your schedule. Like he says, this book overcomes both of those obstacles, no weirdness and an easy course to fit into your life.
I'm starting on week three; I haven't so much noticed "reduced stress and increased focus" but I'm definitely enjoying the practice. I also like the clear and easy course he sets out for you making it easy to follow and not be discouraged.
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone with a desire to try meditation (though if you'll read the negative reviews it has little to offer someone more experienced).

Meditation, 2008-08-25
One thing I notice that is a negative to me is that I receive tons of spam following any Amazon purchase. I have no way of knowing if there is an actual relationship between my purchase and the receipt of spam, but it is suspect. Is there anything you can do about it? Otherwise, I have very positive transactions with Amazon.

Great *beginner* book, 2008-05-05
This is a fantastic, quick read. You spend way more time meditating than reading. It introduces you to a few different types of meditation and really shows improvement if you follow the book's schedule faithfully.

Great book and program for starting meditation, 2008-04-26
This book was exactly what I was looking for. I had never meditated before and this wonderful 8 week program really got me started. Each week there is a different technique to try and it only takes 8 minutes a day. The approach is very simple and easy to follow. The author is very encouraging, as many beginners (including myself) don't necessarily "get it" at first and think they're doing it wrong. Eventually, I had my own "Ah ha!" moment and believe the practice is doing me a lot of good. In addition to setting the foundation for a daily meditative practice for relaxation, it has also helped me deal with any stressful events by providing a technique to slow down for a minute, take some deep breaths and calm myself.
One additional note - this book does not have any religious references and separates the meditation from any sort of religious spiritual experience. It focuses simply on meditation for reducing stress, inducing relation and increasing focus and happiness.
I would highly recommend this book to any beginners. With only 8 minutes a day, this is a do-able program!!!
