Zen for AmericansOctober 19, 2008 This book is broken down into the most american understanding of meditation of any book I have read so far. My power of "here and now" has advanced by leaps and bounds.

It's never too late to get back to basics and put one's meditation practice on a firmer foundation. This book by Steve Hagen is succinct and an invaluable resource for the beginner meditator and a timely revision for those who have been meditating for some time.
Mediation Plain & SimpleApril 7, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Gentle prying apart of common preconceptions of meditation. Practical explanation of what meditation is and is not, what you can discover there, how to get started and how to keep coming back every day.
Meditation Now or NeverOctober 13, 2007 8 out of 14 found this review helpful
Steve Hagen, the author of Buddhism: Plain and Simple, is the best introduction to Zen and Buddhism you can find. Written in language we regular folks can understand, yet carrying the full meaning and experience of the more ancient/esoteric writings. Meditation is the bedrock of fully experiencing the Zen and Buddhist message. Meditation Now or Never should be a jewel in your personal tools pack. I can not overly praise this man's works. And he is a practicing monk as well.
