- After majoring in Asian languages at UCLA, he entered a PhD program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. As a part of his thesis research, he lived as a Shingon (Japanese Vajrayana) monk for three years at Mount Koya, Japan. It was then that he received the name Shinzen (真善).
Also during that time, he became friends with Father William Johnston (author of Christian Zen). Fr. Johnston helped broaden Shinzen’s interests to include comparative world mysticism and the scientific study of meditative states.
Upon returning to the United States, his academic interests shifted to the dialogue between Eastern meditation and Western science.

The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works door Shinzen Young
A mish-mash of information about Buddhist practice. Shinzen is a master and a good teacher, mostly for students with a very "think-y", rationalist approach. This book is a compendium of his teachings and idiosyncratic approach to Buddhism. Interesting throughout, but not the book I would recommend to a budding student.
My personal reaction to this was 5 stars, but I give it 4 stars in context of wider appeal.
Despite meditation's focus on equanimity, books on the topic often veer from breathlessly dramatic to bone dry in tone. This book strikes a nice balance. Before delving in, there are some things to be aware of:
1) It is not a nuts-and-bolts guide to meditation. It is a high-level treatise on the systematic exploration of what enlightenment is and how humans can reach it.
2) This book will be most accessible to people with some interest in and previous exposure to meditation, contemplative prayer, and cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
If you have interest or some previous knowledge of these topics, this book will probably be a gem to you. If not, it will probably seem tedious and perhaps mystifying in parts. For those willing to dive in anyway, you will be rewarded with a great deal of food for thought about common assumptions about the human perception of reality and how we can methodically and scientifically work with and study that perception.… (meer)

A broad overview that addressed the one thing no yogi or meditation instructor has ever accepted from me - some people *cannot* focus on their breathing. I mean, they *can* but it makes things worse. For me, focusing on my breathing causes mini panic attacks: chest clenching, sudden inability to get the oxygen all the way to the lungs, increased pulse, etc. This book acknowledges that it can be very uncomfortable to focus on your breathing. Sadly, the advice is to ignore the awkward.
Short book with the enemies and basics of meditation. Includes a short practice.
