Book summary

Sylvia Boorstein suggests taking three days off to create a mindfulness meditation retreat, and this book provides the official textbook for doing so. Preferring a simple approach, Boorstein notes that an overabundance of rules and instructions can actually encourage seekers to overthink their meditation, adding to mental chaos and defeating the purpose. Her book acts as a spiritual guide, suggesting a schedule and offering tips for clearing the mental clutter. Boorstein's conversational narrative makes this a highly accessible option for meditation study, particularly for the beginning student.
