I bought a copy for myself. When it arrived I was absolutely thrilled because it's perfect for my method of recording meditations! But my excitement was shortlived because my mom snagged my copy and my sisters and several friends want copies now, too. So now I have to order more. My advice -- buy a few copies because undoubtedly friends and family who also meditate will want copies of their very own. These make great birthday and holiday gifts, too! A copy of this book, some stick incense, and a few tealight candles in a basket with a bow... I know what I'm giving this year.
