The Mind Illuminated as a tactical guide, and Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha as a map of the overall path

The Mind Illuminated is a fairly comprehensive one.

I must say I struggled with this. It seemed like it should have been a good book, but I got lost in its various stages and its volume. I've posted my favourite meditation book elsewhere. It just cuts straight through to the core, but perhaps it just seems that way given my own experience. YMMV.

Novice here, yoga was my intro.
