For over twenty-five years, How to Meditate has set the standard for guides to meditation, and now this classic bestseller with over 200,000 copies in print is available on CD for the first time
How to Meditate offers a sympathetic initiation in the benefits of meditation and a description of the four distinctly different techniques: the path through the intellect, the path through the emotions, the route of the body, and the path of action.

Here is one of the most practical guides to meditation. As a psychotherapist and researcher, Lawrence LeShan is more interested in the process and effects of meditation than the spiritual motivations. To LeShan, meditation means training the mind, and he likens it to physical exercise. Like a good trainer, he breaks down the different kinds of meditation into easy-to-learn steps and offers counsel about the best ways to go about it and the pitfalls you are likely to encounter. LeShan isn’t pure vanilla, however. He wrote at a time (the early ’70s) when meditation was still considered esoteric and strongly associated with the paranormal. Still, he keeps his feet on the ground and suggests that you do, too. Meditation, he says, helps get a new perspective on the world and to attain “an increased serenity and competence in being.” If you are a beginning meditator, this perennial favorite is a good place to start. –Brian Bruya
