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.

Meditation in Action - Chogyam Trungpa. This is a great introduction to basic principles of Shamatha meditation and mindfulness in action, it is highly practice-oriented. Also, The Sanity We Are Born With, same author. Teachings on basic sanity, wheel of life, and basically a wonderful bit about Buddhist Psychology. This one is slightly more advanced than meditation in action.
