Book Reviews of Meditation Made Easy
Book Review: A CLEAR, POWERFUL BOOK THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Summary: 5 Stars
Lorin Roche is a master, not the kind you'd imagine meeting on the top of a mountain, but the kind you would hope to meet on the earth--a wise friend who has been there and back, and can explain the path of meditation to you. He takes what is a complex subject, and presents it in a way that is easy to understand, easier to practice and yet powerfully useful. He is funny and sincere, profound and light-hearted all at the same time. This book is essential for anyone who doesn't want to formally study with a meditation teacher, but knows he or she needs to meditate..or at least find out why so many people do. I highly recommend it as a meditator myself for over 36 years.

Book Review: Very good
Summary: 4 Stars
So many meditation books are trapped in the eastern traditions which they come from that it is difficult for an atheist like myself to get past all of the superficial trappings in order to gain anything from them. This book is different from any other meditation book I have ever read. The author is smart enough to realize that the trappings are unnecessary. He also presents a new side to meditation by explaining that meditation is a wonderfully sensual experience to be enjoyed for its own sake. I like this book a lot. I have been reading it a few pages at a time and enjoying it very much. If you are looking for a book on how to meditate which is very friendly to Westerners and the non-religious, this is very good.Book Review: Meditation Made Too Easy
Summary: 3 Stars
Meditation Made Easy was very well written, organized and with both humor and clear examples of how to meditate. The problem I had with the book was how Mr. Roche continually made it seem like we were already meditating by many of the things we do in our everyday lives----such as daydreaming or contemplation. I think there is some truth to what he says, but too often he made it sound like no effort is needed to meditate. From 30 years of various forms of meditation I know that in fact it does take effort----a lot of effort. However, in Mr. Roche's defense, I think what he had to say, overall, will enable those who are interested in meditation to at least get started.Book Review: Filled with very helpful and comforting information
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the audio version and I have just about worn out my cassette. Recently I had begun focusing on my breathing in a very concentrated way and began to experience a great deal of anger.(rage) I began listening to my "Meditation Made Easy" again and have gotten back into a much more relaxed approach. Now I understand some things Mr Roche was saying that I hadn't fully understood before. Also there is an unbeleivable amount of useful information given. I recommend the book or cassette to anyone who wants help in knowing how to approach meditation.Book Review: best book on the subject by far
Summary: 5 Stars
best book? big claim, i know. but then again i've read several of 'em, tried several of 'em, and you know what? they all failed to convey the sheer joy of meditation. not this book, however. not by a long way. within a couple of days of merely starting the book i was craving my next meditation session. craving it. and enjoying it way way beyond what i had come to expect. meditation is not hard work. it's not work at all. this book has such a wonderful attitude. is useful. and totally indispensible. thank you, lorin.
