“Metta meditation is awesome.”
Alisha offers a fourteen-second case for metta, this book, and the person who wrote it.
Why this book
Fifteen years of practice, distilled.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Taylor has studied meditation for more than fifteen years. He spent three years living in Nepal, where he deepened his practice and met Alisha.
After practicing many forms of meditation, he kept returning to metta—the practice that has helped him most. This book brings that experience together with the tradition’s history and modern research in one practical guide.
Alisha’s perspective
She studied yoga and meditation in Nepal, where she became a certified yoga teacher.
