1. How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends With Your Mind 

Pema Chodron is an American Tibetan Buddhist nun who has spent her life studying and practicing meditation. In this comprehensive guide, readers will learn basic meditation techniques such as breathing and posture as well as tips on how to start a meditation practice.

From there, Chodron explains the nuances of working with the mind, thoughts, and emotions as one develops a steady routine of practice. Throughout the book, she stresses the importance of cultivating “unconditional friendliness” towards oneself while meditating. This, she says, gives meditation a quality of “sheer delight,” which can strengthen our practice when things get tough.

2. Meditation: The Complete Guide: Meditation For Beginners, Mindfulness, Happiness & Peace

Many self published books lack in quality and authority. However, in this down to earth, easy to read guide, long time yoga instructor and practitioner Katie Anderson, delivers what she promises in the title: a complete meditation guide for beginners.

Readers are introduced to the basics of meditation from picking a designated meditation “seat,” choosing a time, setting the session length, how to get into a comfortable position, all the way to settling into a relaxed state of focus and concentration. Various meditation techniques and practices are explored such as breathing, visualization, and mantra.

If meditation feels a little bit “woo-woo” to you, then this science-rooted book by Dr. Steven Laureys offers meditation advice and insight straight from his 20 years of professional research.

Learn exactly what meditation does to the brain and how science can explain what most consider a more spiritual practice at its core. This book is perfect for those who need scientific proof of the benefits of meditation.

5. Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day

In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world.

Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation & Practice6. Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation & Practice

Whether you’re a beginner looking to have a more thorough understanding or a regular practitioner, this book provides powerful insight into the Zen world of meditation.

7. Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation In Everyday Life

In this now classic book on mindfulness and meditation, Jon Kabat-Zinn inspired a new generation to begin living with calm, purpose, and intention in a hectic world. Through personal stories and practical exercises, Kabat-Zinn introduces a way of living that is at once simple yet deeply profound.

Meditation is a practice that can bring about a state of “mindfulness,” a condition of “being” rather than “doing.” By paying attention to the present moment rather than the past or the future we learn how to experience our lives in a much richer, deeper way. Kabat-Zinn shows that this way of “being” is accessible to everyone through meditative practices that he calls, “workouts for consciousness.” A must-have for all modern mindfulness practitioners.

Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book8. Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book

Can’t sit still? You’re not alone. Many struggle with the concept of meditation, or the idea of “perfect stillness.” If that’s you, then Dan Harris’ book is for you.

Those familiar with meditation might know about Dan Harris and his experience with meditation: After a panic attack on live TV during his time as a news anchor, he became a vocal supporter of the practice. This book tackles some of the common excuses people have, like “I don’t have time,” or “I’m not good at this,” and offers real, practical solutions.

9. The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation

In this beautiful and lucid guide, Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh offers gentle anecdotes and practical exercises as a means of learning the skills of mindfulness—being awake and fully aware. From washing the dishes to answering the phone to peeling an orange, he reminds us that each moment holds within it an opportunity to work toward greater self-understanding and peacefulness.

10. Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World

Mindfulness reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion. The 8-week program outlined in the book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed.

MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression1 and is widely recommended by US physicians and the UK’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. More importantly, it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world.

Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program
17. Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program

Meditation expert Sharon Salzburg argues that meditation is not just a spiritual practice; like riding a bike or getting daily exercise, a muscle that needs training. Creating that habit, in the same way as daily exercise, allows readers to reap the benefits of meditation in a practiced, simple way.

This 28-day program provides that framework and draws from Salzburg’s decades of teaching and experience.

18. Mindful Kids: 50 Mindfulness Activities for Kindness , Focus and Calm

Although not technically a book, this boxed set of activity cards includes 50 creative mindfulness games, visualizations and exercises. They are divided into 5 categories to help children feel grounded, find calm, improve focus, practice loving-kindness and relax.

It’s impossible to have a conversation about meditation and mindfulness without including the importance of the breath. In this investigative journal, author James Nestor travels the world tracking down men and women, exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo. He then teams up with pulmonary researchers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.
