Meditation Without Bullshit: A Guide for Rational Men (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783942017053)

Through meditation you can dramatically improve your well-being. Yet, the way it is commonly taught can be very off-putting if you are an analytical or even skeptical person. Instead of clear instructions, you get exposed to fantasy constructs such as chakras or the third eye. Instead of precise technical instruction, people distract you with gongs and incense sticks. Consequently, the core of meditation often has to be carefully extracted by each student. What is worse, some get misguided and meditate in a highly inefficient manner for years. Others dismiss meditation altogether as a consequence.

As an antidote, Aaron S. Elias presents Meditation Without Bullshit. This book distills more than twenty years of personal practice, including years of teaching meditation. It focuses on principles and methods. It furthermore gives practical guidance, justifies recommended methods, and provides you with a detailed roadmap for your own meditative practice. In addition, Meditation Without Bullshit highlights misguided approaches to meditation.
