Don't hesitate to meditate
Author of this book Henepola Gunaratana is Theravada Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka. Mindfulness in Plain English was originally published in 1992 and has become a standard text for novice westerners wanting to learn about the subject of meditation.
This book points out to the reader / listener that meditation is more than relaxation and the underlying principle is to develop awareness and the objective is to live ones life based on morality, concentration and wisdom. It also gives some top tips on how to deal with distractions whilst attempting to meditate; apparently it is expected that your legs will go numb at some point and this will cause no lasting harm.
There is also and afterword covering the subject of love and friendliness which are qualities that we should all strive for in ourselves, our nearest and dearest and, our enemies. Plenty to think about here.
