Meditation is basically an emptying of your mind. Basic meditation usually starts with something to focus on. Keep one simple, peaceful image in your head and focus on ONLY it. Basically its watching yourself from the inside. Don't let your mind wander, keep it focused only on the image. After some practice you can get rid of the image and have an empty mind, thinking of nothing conciously. My Tai Chi instructor refered to the average person having a "monkey mind", meaning their mind jumps around with no control over thought, and that meditation is exactly the opposite. If you need a book though, I would recommend some of the books by the Dhali Lama, such as The Art of Happiness (its a non-religious book with great insight into happiness, and a good place to start if you are on the road to enlightenment).
