I've tried meditation many times- many books and discussions on the method. They never worked until I read Sharon Salzberg's. She points to all the challenges to meditation- most I can recognize- and explains how to overcome them. She really understands why we want to meditate, and the problems we have in getting there. It was like having a discussion with her.
