A good guide for meditation aimed at executives

"Calm Amid Chaos - An Executive Guide To Reducing Stress Through Meditation" is a practical guide to meditation by Charles Graybar. The book is authentic in that it is written by a man who himself has been a successful business executive and who thus understands the pressures and pains of the average American Business Executive / Leader. That he failed several times to meditate and finally succeeded should give all of us who fail to meditate (including this reviewer), the perseverence to persist and succeed. Most of the meditation practices described by Charles Graybar (Chuck to his friends) are based on eastern approaches. But they don't demand any change in the religious beliefs of the meditators and thus the book should be acceptable to people of all faiths. The book's editing left a lot to be desired. Fortunately, the author's message comes through with little distortion. If you have been looking for a simple, practical guide to help you learn meditation, this is for you.

No More Excuses!

If you keep meaning to start meditating but always find an excuse not to start, then meet your match! This book clearly outlines a progressive approach to meditation designed to give you results in a timely manner. The special "troubleshooting" section at the end of each chapter will take the wind out of any excuse that comes to mind, encouraging you to continue on with this rewarding practice. You will also find a summary of all the meditation exercises in the back of the book for quick and easy reference. So, pick up the book, drop the excuses and get going...peace of mind is just around the corner!

Great for Small Business!

As a small business executive I read this book and found it to be a wonderful guidebook on meditation. The author does a great job in creating a step by step process to learn the basics of Meditation. I was looking for a way to release some of the stress in my life. Calm amid Chaos is most certainly a great start.

Finally a common sense approach to meditation!

Like another review posted here, I had tried and failed a few times to learn meditation by reading other books. None really took into account that I lead a busy, fast-paced life full of business pressure, flying off here and there, living in hotels and customers yelling for everything to be delivered yesterday. The other books on meditation that I'd read were solid works but they weren't wtitten by someone that had walked the kind of path and led the kind of life I do. This is a common sense straight from the hip great book that worked for me written by a guy that obviously knows his stuff. Terrific job.
