I've known Gurucharan for twenty years and appreciate his intelligence, devotion and humanity, all of which are present in this excellent book. You can trust what he says about meditation, and especially about the obstacles most people run into as they learn how to meditate. The book is outstanding: clear, flowing, concrete, useful and deeply authoritative. It is obviously rooted in experience, study and devotion to a tradition. It's not an easy subject to write about, but Gurucharan does it with both style and substance. Thomas Moore, author of Care and the Soul
