For starting out with meditation, I highly recommend the following books: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0884974448/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=asentothi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217153&creative=399349&creativeASIN=0884974448" rel="nofollow">Meditation</a> by Sri Chinmoy</li> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/818530176X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=asentothi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217153&creative=399701&creativeASIN=818530176X" rel="nofollow">Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda</a> by Swami Vivekananda</li> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8170588456/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=asentothi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217153&creative=399701&creativeASIN=8170588456" rel="nofollow">The Life Divine</a> by Sri Aurobindo</li> </ul> The first, <em>Meditation</em> by Sri Chinmoy, really is the simplest and most concise introduction to meditation I've encountered. Vivekananda is similarly concise and easy to follow, but is also a good starting point for the place of meditation within Eastern philosophy and mysticism, as likewise is Sri Aurobindo. Of course meditation, although ultimately a very simple practise, is also a very vast topic, and a little like finding the right pair of running shoes—it's all about finding what fits you the best, and gets you where you want to go.
