Gunaratana Mindfulness October 16, 2008
I have read this book three times and will probably continue to re-read it for the rest of my life. If you are interested in meditation, this is THE book. It is deceptively simple and brilliantly clear. There are lots of well-meaning but not so well written books out there on the topic. This is the one to help a newbie or a seasoned practitioner find the navigational aids and roadmap to meaningful and authentic meditation, and it will help the dabblers decide if this is really the path they want to tred.
Zen and Wonderful September 7, 2008
A very zen approach to becoming more mindful and thereby becoming more meditative and spiritual about every day miracles. This book hit all the high notes with me.

Mindfulness in Plain English, Updated and Expanded Edition
 ekcg August 15, 2008
Not quite as easy a read as I was lead to believe in the reviews. But definitely an excellent overview of mindfulness. I liked how it pointed out the pitfalls some beginners run into. I liked how they outlined the variety of ways meditation can be practiced. I would recommend this book to other beginners.
informative, thorough, eye-opening August 15, 2008
I purchased this book because I was interested in learning about the concept of mindfulness. I wasn't exactly looking to develop a serious meditation habit, but during my reading of the book I began to embrace the idea. I read the book and wanted to re-read it fairly soon after finishing, but I loaned it out to someone. I'm eager to get it back and read it again, but I've told someone else they can borrow it! I may have to buy another copy. The book is well-laid-out, covers the subject matter very well, and opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. I'm trying to become a more regular meditator; currently I do it in ten-minute increments a couple of times a week at minimum, but I'm hoping to build from there. Also: I'm currently reading the "sequel" to this book, called "Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness: Walking the Buddha's Path." I'm only in the beginning but I'm finding it on par with "Mindfulness in Plain English" -- informative and eye-opening, and teaching me things that I feel can impact my everyday thinking (and hopefully result in an overall healthier mind).
