“Living a ‘Good Life’ happens not by hiding from uncertainty and risk, but by embracing them. The problem is, we’re badly equipped to play in a place of uncertainty long enough to see the deeper possibility that always rides alongside it. Meditation helps us do just that, and Start Here Now is a fantastic guide to the practice.

This beautiful book meets you where you are, and then walks you, step-by-step, into starting your own practice. Nearly every question you could think to ask is answered—from how to set up your room, to what meditation actually is and does—leaving you with but one thing to do: Begin. I can’t recommend this book strongly enough both to new meditators, and to experienced ones who might benefit from revisiting the essentials.”

“I know you don’t have time to read this magical little book. That’s precisely why you need it—right now and forever. (When in doubt, see page 99).”
