OK for quick and superficial overview.
This book is a bit thin...in every way. It is OK for a quick overview of some of the history of meditation, at least for the ones who just need a superficial understanding of meditation. I wouldn't recommend it to start practising meditation after, but it is OK to getting a small idea about what meditation is!

Life Changes
I love the colorful photographs brightening up the pages. This guide takes you from the most basic forms of this ancient discipline and then enhances your practice through more advanced techniques, like focusing on an ethereal blue butterfly in your mind or visualizing calming ocean waves breaking on a shore. I had never really thought about meditating with colors, but have visualized colors during a Chakra segment in a Yoga workout and it really does help you relax.
There are a few highly creative ways to relax and many of them focus on your inner world and how you can create a peaceful retreat inside your own mind, anyplace, anytime. A short discussion about living in the moment, diet changes and lifestyle choices completes this tiny book of bite-size pointers.
~The Rebecca Review
A great read!
This book is a great overview of different meditation techniques and subjects. It starts off at an introductory pace and then quickly spans several thousands of years instructions. A great book.
