Meditation-General
This is my book, so I am not objective, but others have reviewed it as having exceptionally precise instructions. In addition to basic meditation it also shows how to apply meditation to life: Real Meditation in Minutes a Day: Enhancing Your Performance, Relationships, Spirituality, and HealthThis is an excellent presentation of mindfulness by the revered teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh: The Miracle of Mindfulness
Meditation - Spirituality
This is an excellent description of Christian meditative prayer: Open Mind Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the GospelHere are suggestions on how to apply the spirituality of mindfulness to daily life: Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
Health Care - Society
The influence of the for-profit medical industry extends throughout our society, to our detriment. These books are easily read and are excellent at exposing the propaganda that is protrayed as "science". Very highly recommended.The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It
