The book highlights a growing global interest in the science of meditation for both practical and spiritual reasons.

•  People seek meditation for everyday benefits like mental strength, concentration, and stability, as well as for the "highest spiritual fulfilment" and understanding the divine.

• The publisher warns that many available books are unreliable because they offer generic advice that ignores the unique mental makeup of the individual.

• The core message is a cautionary one: unmethodical meditation performed without proper preparation can be ineffective or counterproductive.
