> talks about how having a teacher or going on meditation retreats will help you become better at meditation than just going it alone.

Maybe I'm cynical, but that reads like a pure monetization strategy to me.

My reading of the book suggests it has nothing to do with monetisation, but is based on years of scientific research. I'd highly recommend the book if you want to find out how meditation effects your brain.
