This modern spiritual classic, presented as a 30-day meditation retreat taught by Joseph Goldstein, offers timeless practical instructions and real-world advice for practicing meditation - whether walking or sitting in formal practice or engaging in everyday life.

Goldstein - a beloved and respected meditation teacher who studied for many years under the guidance of eminent Buddhist teachers from India, Tibet, and Burma - uses the retreat format to explain various basic Buddhist teachings including karma, selflessness, and the four noble truths, while also drawing connections to many different spiritual traditions.

Deep and Chilling!

Thank you, Joseph Goldstein. This has been a very eye-opening dharma journey. Although, I struggle a lot keeping up on my spiritual path, I know that the only way is to keep up with the daily practice.

A Perfect Companion to a Budding Meditation Practice

New to meditation and mindfulness practices? This book is a wonderful foundation for understanding the fundamental philosophies at play.

Great insight

Content was great. Narrator was excellent! Highly recommend. Also Ten Percent Happier is a great listen too.

Understanding the Practice

This audio book was very helpful. I have listened to Joseph Goldstein on the Waking Up app and this book brought more clarity to my understanding of the Darhma.

Great detailed overview of mindfulness

I was skeptical I would like this book at first because it’s written from the perspective of a retreat. However, I found all passages immensely helpful for understanding mindfulness. This goes into even greater detail around how to practice mindfulness.

So Good
