I finally learned that within me 
there lay an invincible summer.

I have not read the book in its entirety, but it is what it says it is. It is straight forward, easy to understand, step by step process of how to meditate as a beginner and how to get to advanced levels. It also has buddhism wisdom and science integrated.

I read it. I highly recommend. I especially like the interludes, where he talks about how your mind is changing at a subconscious level as you progress in your meditation practice.

Alright, I’ll give it a go. Have been looking for an in depth book about meditation for a while. This book looks fit for that.

@Leo Gura But not beneficial enough for the booklist?

It is in my opinion the best book you can find on meditation in the West. If you like a logical approach, and you want to understand at each step what you are doing and why you are doing it. It's both a meditation manual and a presentation of a mind model that helps you understand your practice and mindfulness in general. I would like to have your take on it if you did actually read it now?
