It offers a practical, non-sectarian approach to meditation intended for people of any belief system. The book is organized into six primary lessons, each focusing on a specific aspect of mental and physical cultivation.

Lesson 3: Knowing versus Thinking: Guides the reader in witnessing the process of experience rather than getting lost in its content. Lesson 4: The Giving and Receiving Heart: Covers the cultivation of loving-kindness and acceptance as the foundation of meditation.
