Many people would like to meditate but feel they lack the time or believe that meditation simply doesn’t work for them. They are often discouraged by the cliché that one must already be "enlightened" or profoundly relaxed just to begin. Michael Curse Kurth dispels these myths, explaining with humor that we are all "Bad Meditators" - and that this is precisely the key to success.

In this book, he provides a step-by-step guide showing that anyone can meditate. He demonstrates how it can succeed even amidst inner restlessness or while walking, and how it helps us clear our minds to find answers to our questions. Whether it is stress reduction, improved sleep quality, or increased focus: the benefits of meditation are immense. This is a pragmatic guide that throws perfectionism overboard and shows how every one of us can find greater serenity through meditation.
