Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond

"Better than sex!" That's how Ajahn Brahm describes meditation, and his enthusiasm is contagious. A self-described meditation junkie, Brahm shares his recipe for bliss in this practical, energising new book. "Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond" is a complete, stem-to-stern guide to the subject, with precise step-by-step instructions for traversing the stages of practice and overcoming obstacles. Drawing on his working-class roots, Brahm explains difficult concepts clearly and easily, so that beginners understand them, while those who already meditate gain new insight. Full of surprises, delightfully goofy humour and entertaining stories that inspire, instruct and illuminate, this meditator's handbook encourages novices and gives a shot in the arm to more experienced practitioners.
