Mindfulness in Plain English

The book presents a straightforward approach, but I wonder what influenced the selection of practices shared here. Did the author focus on what worked best for most people or personal experience?

I've tried other meditation books before, but this one really clicked for me. Am I the only one who felt that the plain language made a difference in understanding?

The book's simplicity makes it seem like it was written for complete beginners. I wonder what personal or philosophical motivations led to this approach.
