Wherever he goes, Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is asked to explain what meditation is, how it is done and what it can achieve. In this elegant, authoritative and entirely accessible book, he sets out to answer these questions. Although meditation is a life-long process even for the wisest, The Art of Meditation demonstrates that by practicing it on a daily basis we can change our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

In this brilliantly inspiring book, Matthieu Ricard talks us through the theory, spirituality and practical aspects of meditation. He illustrates each stage of his teaching with examples, leading each reader deeper into their own practice. Through his experience as a monk, his close reading of sacred texts and his deep knowledge of the Buddhist masters, Matthieu Ricard demonstrates the significant benefits that meditation, based on selfless love and compassion, can bring to each of us.

The best book on meditation I have ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2018

The best book on meditation I have ever read. Explains everything in depth but with such simplicity and, in particular, helped me to understand the illusory concept of the 'ego self'. I'd strongly recommend reading right to the end because, in my opinion, it gets even better as it goes along.

Great book

I like the book, however I would put 'Mindfulness Meditation' or even 'Inner Calm' in the beginning of the Chapter 3, as they are easier to start with. Other than that, it's a good and easy read. Even though the author says that he didn't want to write a book, I quite like his style, as looks pretty wise, but not boring.
