Mere Mortals Book Reviews Three Steps To Awakening (Larry Rosenberg With Laura Zimmerman) - Book Review

Want an unhelpful book about how to meditate, then look no further! 'Three Steps To Awakening' by Larry Rosenberg (with Laura Zimmerman) is a collection of his audible teachings condensed into a short book. In it he differentiates 'awareness' into the practicing part (actual meditation practice) and into the everyday living part. The book is split into three main sections on how to meditate: whole body breath awareness, breath-as-anchor and choiceless awareness.
I summarised the book as follows. "It's a short book that I wouldn't describe as neither beginner nor advanced. It comes across as very scattered and lacked a real structure. It was composed from his audible teachings and this tends to result in a book that is sub-standard when compared to those which are expressly written for the purpose of reading. The only saving grace is the Q&A sections, which actually are somewhat helpful."
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
