simple truth, fabulous narrator

This book is simple and clear, yet profound. A perfect book for beginners and even people with meditation experience to use as a refresher. Love that its not preachy but uses practical examples to get the point across. Edoardo Ballerini is a fabulous narrator- I've actually bought some books because he's the narrator. My favourite on Audible, hope he does the audio for a lot more books

One of the best book on the topic.

I actually wondering how such a best book this authentic on the subject available as a free book in audible. I feel author must be compensated better for his work. Best is the one word, authentic is another word that can describe.
