Excellent!!!

This is the first audiobook that I have ordered as a Premium Listener and I regard it as an excellent one. It consists of five lessons given by Jack Kornfield to a group of people during a course of five weeks. It is very well structured and tailored to the beginner?s needs. It discusses various subjects:

? Why meditate

? How to focus on your breath

? How to focus on your body sensations

? How to deal with feelings

? How to deal with thoughts

? Loving kindness-walking-eating meditation

Highlights include:

? Jack Kornfield?s kindness and wisdom. You will soon be feeling that this teacher is talking directly to you.

? Simple and clear view of buddhist principles and psychology.

? Jack Kornfield deals with many misconceptions about meditation, the most important one to avoid being perfectionist and idealistic about it.

? Jack Kornfield explains clearly why meditation isn?t some mystical way to attain extraordinary powers but the art of being here now!

? This audiobook is full with humorous stories that help to convey the message in the most insightful and entertaining way.

It is really a great audiobook. I hope that audible.com will provide us with other Jack Kornfield?s books and my suggestion is ?After the enlightment the laundry?

? Offer yourself this audiobook, it?s an excellent gift.

Almost as good as being there

I've long wanted to go to a retreat where Jack Kornfield offers his insights into meditation. This is almost as good. I return to it often, especially the fourth week's session. Great introduction to vipassana.

Great Workshop

This is a joy to listen to again and again.The only possible minus is the bad sound quality of the open mike. However there have been times when I have been present myself at workshops like this and I could not make out more of what was being said than I can on this recording.

entertaining as well as useful

If you are interested in learning about meditation, this audiobook is great.

It does not matter that the recording is not as good. The "workshop" sessions have substance!

I have already heard it 4 or 5 times.

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining and full of good insight on how to meditate. Jack is relaxed and often amusing in his narration, i laughed out loud several times. Audio quality is a little poor though, but dont let that put you off! You can actually meditate along with the book too, with instruction from Jack - Great.
