After reading a ridiculous number of books on mindfulness and attending endless classes, workshops and retreats, I've learned that fundamentally, they are all saying the same thing.  Of course, as individuals, we are all drawn to certain authors, experts and styles of writing and fortunately there is something out there for everyone.

Happy Reading!
