Meditation can benefit everyone, and that's the intent of Matt Flickstein's book. Written in delightfully down-to-earth English that's accessible to all readers, this insightful guide is a concise, contemporary take on the Buddha's most basic teachings. Based on the ancient text known as the "Path to Purification," it offers a modern-day approach to essential subjects such as how to have a happy life; how to meditate; cultivating helpful attitudes; finding work that supports or doesn't conflict with practice and priorities; overcoming doubt; and incorporating mindfulness in all aspects of daily life. Tracing step-by-step the processes and stages of Buddhist meditation, "The Meditator's Atlas" is an inspiring roadmap for those just embarking on the path as well as for those already on it.
