Bringing together a broad range of Buddhist meditative techniques, this collection features some of the foremost voices in contemporary Buddhism: Pema Chödrön, Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Lama Surya Das, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and many more.

A 28-day program helps establish a daily practice, while chapters on managing challenges and bringing mindfulness into daily life make this an enduring companion on the spiritual path.
