Title: Eastern babbling
Review: After reading several very interesting articles about meditation on the NYT and various sources, including The Shamatha study ([...])I decided to buy this book. I have practice meditation on and off and I do have actually noticed that smiling and focusing on breath can make you feel much better. Once you know that, there is absolutely nothing to find in this book. All the pseudo philosophical discourse is cheap, amateurish, worthy of the TV series Kung Fu. As I read the book I almost heard somebody called be grasshopper. So do yourself a favor, if you want to meditate, just sit in a calm and quiet room, start focusing on your breath, put a smile on your face and don't bother about the nonsense in The Miracle of Mindfulness. Instead go to the address listed above, read about the story. This people know and understand why meditation works. The author of the book doesn't.
