There&#x27;s a great book called <i>Mindfulness in Plain English</i>, which I&#x27;ve been recommending for some time. It&#x27;s direct, to the point, and addresses many topics such as distractions, pain during practice, exactly how to prepare, and of course what to do with your mind.<p>I think this is complete: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandharma.org&#x2F;udharma4&#x2F;mpe.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandharma.org&#x2F;udharma4&#x2F;mpe.html</a><p>But it&#x27;s always nice to have something in paperback or Kindle: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Mindfulness-Plain-English-Anniversary-Edition&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0861719069&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Mindfulness-Plain-English-Anniversar...</a><p>The printed edition also has a nice afterword.
