Having spent the last 20-odd years driving different cars on a weekly basis, often twice a week, George Fowler is more qualified than most to hold an opinion that counts. A reader of his Motormouth column once asked him what he thought about a car he'd praised, and added: "I know you get paid by the manufacturers to say nice things, so I just wondered what you really thought."That week, a furious Fowler absolutely slaughtered the then new Nissan Primera, and added at the end of his column: "How much do you think Nissan paid me for that, Mr Smith of Preston?" He didn't get a reply.If your car is, or was, remotely good then you won't find it in this book.On the other hand, if it's here, don't expect any sympathy.

Meditation, says Publishers Weekly, is back and in this refreshingly simple but wise little book, former Trappist monk George Fowler writes eloquently and persuasively about the many benefits to be gained from it: peace, lightheartedness, self-respect, fulfillment, a deep feeling of security and wholeness, freedom from guilt about the past, release from anxiety about the future. Fowler assures readers that meditation doesn't require esoteric knowledge, a gift for concentration, a quiet temperament, or a special ambiance. He focuses on the why, rather than the how, and explains that meditation happens best when it begins with a clear focus on spiritual understanding. Once we understand the goals of meditation -- contemplative bliss and the dance of the heart -- the techniques will take care of themselves.
