HURRY UP AND MEDITATE

Michie’s second book on Buddhist practices shows how anyone can embrace the well-documented benefits of meditation. The author provides an impressive number of specific instructions and thoughtful suggestions for starting the practice. His writing is friendly and informal, and his laid-back teaching style owes a lot to his willingness to share much of his own journey with the practice of meditation. The text also exudes his respect for each listener’s needs and learning style. Nicholas Bell’s appealing British diction and understated performance will make many listeners feel like somebody refined and sincere is trying to be helpful. His irresistible vocal charm makes this audiobook sound both elegant and accessible. T.W. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2011]
