By Deirdre Donahue, USA TODAY

This autumn, our national psyche's Teflon shield has been severely scratched by terrorist attacks and anthrax headlines. We cannot change reality, so people need to find healthful ways to cope. For centuries, people around the world have found an inner calm through meditation.
It seems easy. Just sit or lie down, close your eyes and clear your mind. Alas, taming those wild monkeys that jump around your mental tree is very difficult. This book and audio presentation explores the practice of meditation:

• The One-Minute Meditator by David Nichol, M.D., and Bill Birchard (Perseus Press, and Audio Renaissance, 3 hours, abridged). Read by Nichol, the tape is fervent in describing the way training one's mind can decrease stress.

Summary: If you want to learn about meditation, read this book!
Review: I have meditated daily for the last 3 years and have found this book very helpful. I had let my meditations become more "routine" than "mindful". The very easy excercises through out the book helped me find my center again.

I would recommend this book to anyone at any level . . . beginner to experienced!
