Concentration: An Approach to Meditation

Rating:
Summary: Excelent book to improve your concentration and memory
Review: A practical introduction with exercises for developing practical concentration skills regardless of whether of not you have any interest in meditating (which I do not.). Most of Wood's books are good, but this is my favorite.

Review: I did all the excercises in the book and it really works. It has helped me through college and now in my professional life.

Summary: It works
Review: I first read this almost twenty years ago, and cannot overstate how valuable it was to me then. The methods Mr. Wood taught in the book have given me focus in my academic, business, and personal life, and helped me to achieve many goals. Year's back, I gave away about a dozen copies to friends. I just promised to loan it to another, picking it up after a ten-year absence. Re-reading the first chapter was like hearing from an old friend. In the end I decided to buy another copy to give to the friend, rather than part with mine. Do the exercises: they work.

Summary: The best book on concentration I have ever read.
Review: I have read other books on concentration and meditation but this one is different. It teaches you how to train your mind as a willing and happy student as opposed to whipping your mind into shape as a master over a slave. The methods work and my concentration has improved greatly as a result.
