The Art of Living

Vipassana Meditation as Taught by S. N. Goenka

De: William Hart

Narrado por: William Hart

A full-length study of the teaching of S. N. Goenka, prepared under his guidance and with his approval. Useful for meditators and non-meditators alike. This was the first book to appear in English that accurately describes the practice of Vipassana at length for the general listener. It includes stories by Goenkaji, as well as answers to students’ questions that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.

Diversity

An educational & enlightening read. I’ve listened to this more than once, & as an audio novel, it’s well read.

Great insight into nature of true Vipassana meditation

Great audio quality and narrator. This book has total understanding and depth of Vipassana meditation.

The Fact that I didn’t understand a dam thing

I followed a reviewed teacher in YouTube to get this book for BEGINNERS! Very frustrating bc they don’t explain the concepts and how I’m supposed to understand?? Another problem is bc I bought it in audio, when the monk was telling a story it was impossible to understand his accent. This book recommended for people that are not beginners. Impossible to understand

Not worth the listen

I sincerely believe this book would be a better read than listen. You need time to process the ideas and stories, which the audiobook does not allow for. Also, the recording quality is poor, the reader is uninterested and painfully mono-toned, and the stories can be difficult to understand.

Easily the most boring book

I don’t know if this would be better to read but listening was terrible. The narration was poor. I listened to it on several speed to see if it improved. No. The stories were very hard to understand as well. Not worth the listen and not a great book on meditation.
