These aren't meditation courses but these three books are actually favorites of mine.  The Dalai Lama's book is filled with inspiration but I really love The DailyOM and have subscribed to their site and get daily inspirations to match the book.  What's better? There's a book sale going on at Hay House just in time for the holidays and my favorites are cheap - click on the book pictures to be taken to the site.  At these prices guess what the people on my list are getting?  

In My Own Words by The Dalai Lama

This fascinating book brings together extracts from some of His Holiness's most powerful writings and talks. As he explains the elements of the Buddha's teachings and the basic practices of meditation, he also engages and reconciles the innovations of modern science with Buddhist perspectives. Serving as the perfect introduction to the Dalai Lama's philosophy, both Buddhist and secular, In My Own Words is just the book for gleaning insights into the mind of one of the world's greatest spiritual icons.
