Meddit's Book Recommendations

Time to update the existing side bar list.

If you could recommend a book(s) on meditation—on practice, theory, and/or inspiration for meditating — what would they be?

Feel free to confirm anything which is already there.

If relevant, describe who the book is best for, such as beginner or seasoned practitioner.

It’s helpful if you can link the book and perhaps share a bit about it.

So many great recommendations already. One I'm surprised not to see is Buddhism Without Beliefs by Stephen Batchelor. Not primarily a book of instructions (although there are some) but an accessible, secular exploration of Buddhist teachings. Very enjoyable read. Appropriate for any experience level and likely a fit for the many folks who are uncomfortable with more traditional "religious" approaches to meditation.
