Should you meditate every day? Discover the answers inside the pages of this book. Where should you meditate? Learn what a good atmosphere for meditation really is. Can you really meditate at work? Or is it best to do so at home, and if so, in which room? Why meditate? This is one of the most significant questions of them all, especially because most of its benefits are so little known.

And is it true that regular meditation can really improve your focus and your memory? How do you go about meditating? If you’ve already determined to begin, this is the big question. The various forms of meditation are not one-size-fits-all, so while this book provides you with the basic technique, it also takes you by the hand through several other variations that you can try.
