What if meditation didn’t require discipline, technique, or hours of sitting still but was actually something you looked forward to?

In How to Meditate Without Even Trying, Peter Russell shares the liberating insight at the heart of his decades-long teaching: The harder we try to meditate, the more we get in our own way. True meditation is instead about the practice of allowing—releasing effort, relaxing the mind, and gently returning to the present moment. In clear and calming prose, Russell’s minimalist approach to meditation will help you:

• cultivate presence without controlling your thoughts

• let go of resistance, tension, and emotional discomfort

• reclaim your natural inner calm—even in a noisy, busy world

• integrate mindfulness into your daily life through mini- and micro-meditations

• rediscover the practice as a source of joy, clarity, and deep contentment

Rooted in both lived experience and timeless wisdom, this is a book to keep within arm’s reach—a call to stop striving and start being.

Critic reviews

“With great clarity and warmth, Peter Russell dismantles the belief that we have to struggle with the mind, and invites us instead to rest in the natural ease of the present moment.”—Rupert Spira, author of The Nature of Consciousness, You Are the Happiness You Seek, and The Shining of Being

“Peter Russell has written an extraordinarily accessible and clear offering that is both engaging and deep. He deftly invites us to discover the great secret of meditation practice: Rather than efforting to make something happen, learning to deeply relax and allow life to move through us is the way to profound connection with our true nature.”—James Baraz, coauthor of Awakening Joy and cofounder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center

“May [this book] support those many seekers who have the thirst to meditate but needed this simple, pure drink of practices and companionship to satisfy their longing.”—Dr. Margaret Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science and Restoring Sanity
