I'm a meditation novice so take this with a grain of salt, but the only "For Dummies"-book I've ever enjoyed was "Meditation For Dummies". It's not a heavy read like some meditation tomes can be but it's not very dumbed down either (IMHO), and it recognizes that some people are interested in the spiritual parts, some the philosophical, while some are only interested in the practical. The book has them all to a good extent, but helps you navigate to the parts that are of use to you. I'm sure YMMV and different books suit different people, but this one worked well for me. I recommend it, but regardless of what resource you use: There is calm to be found, and it can feel great. Good luck! Edit: Grammar.
