Completely normal.

Sam Harris is a charlatan for preaching it using "his program": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18774981-waking-up

Spare me this book under 4 stars rating.

Ok, good to hear. That's not the impression I got from your comment about the LA yoga guy.

What's wrong with the book? I read it and thought it was, on the whole, interesting and useful. Obviously it isn't perfect.

How specifically is Sam a charlatan? What falsehoods does he claim about himself regarding meditation?
