Gunaratana, a Sri Lankan Buddhist monk with decades of meditation experience, offers an in-depth yet user-friendly approach to mindfulness. He explores the mechanics of meditation, how to cultivate concentration and awareness, and how to overcome mental obstacles such as restlessness, doubt, and distractions. His tone is both encouraging and direct, making this an ideal read for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.
