reviewed On the Psychology of Meditation on + 6 more book reviews
This book is written in two parts each of which is authored individually. Claudio Naranjo wrote the first: Meditation- Its Spirit and Techniques. Robert E. Ornstein wrote the second: The techniques of Meditation and Their Implications for Modern Psychology. Together they explore the history of use of meditation in eastern religions before turning to laboratory experimentation to study the nature of human consciousness.

Scholarly yet readable, it will be equally interesting to students of human psychology and to those interested in comparative religion and it will reward those personally seeking "awarness".
