Guys, I highly recommend 10% Happier by news anchor Dan Harris. It's a real no-nonsense look at meditation and what it can do for you. I think Harris is probably coming from the same place most of us are; skeptical of any woo-woo and looking for concrete and tangible benefits. Really good book. His job allowed him to interview a lot of well known figures in the field like Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra, really does a good job of sifting through and sorting the nonsense from the good stuff.

Agreed, this was one of the books that really got me meditating regularly. He gives you a good overview of a lot of the bigger figures in mediation, and the good and bad aspects of a few of them. Check out his podcast as well, he interviews meditation experts as well as public figures who happen to meditate. Listening to the good effects people get from their imperfect practices makes starting meditation a lot less daunting.
