Summary:
"Many avoid
meditation
because of its religious trappings. But as bestselling atheist Sam Harris has recently written (in Waking Up),
meditation
is an age-old
secular
practice with numerous scientifically verified physical and psychological benefits. As longtime
meditation
teacher Rick Heller here shows,
meditation
's benefits extend beyond the personal to enrich relationship with others, with
community
, and with the world. Step-by-step instructions, personal stories, and provocative questions teach empathy for others, stress reduction and
inner
peace
, and the kind of in-the-moment living that fosters appreciation for life and resilience in the face of adversity. Heller simplifies what is often found mysterious - "If you have ever loved or even liked another person, you have the prerequisites for learning kindness
meditation
" - and invites all to partake in "awe and wonder at the rich experience of being alive.""--From publisher.
