I highly recommend Jon Kabat Zinn. Specifically I like his audiotapes, but I read one of his books and it's quite good.

Try /r/Meditation

Here are my own personal methods, and thread where they explain what "types" I am doing:

I read a book called Mental Resilience by Kamal Sarma. It wasn't spiritual at all; It was very practical/self-improvement-oriented. It comes with a CD, which is more like a really helpful timer. He has 5 "levels" of meditation/tracks on the CD, for relaxation, calm, emotional tranquility, insight, and wisdom. I was always a bit unsure on the last 2, but the first 3 I thought made me more focused and positive.

I am sure those are all great books. I would still recommend that you find a human instructor/coach. This thing is just designed for a verbal explanation.

The Power of Now

"Mindfulness in Plain English" to get the cut and dry "what is meditation," "Zen Mind, Beginners Mind" to regiment and flesh out your practice, and "Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving Kindness" for wisdom to improve your postmeditation practice (ie: running about in the world, not on a cushion). Namaste and good luck.

r/meditation or r/buddhism are the best places to ask this question

I was just wondering the same thing in the last few days.

Books can be helpful, but get a teacher. I practiced for a few year on my own with what I learned in books and made some progress. After the same amount of time practicing with a teacher my experience improved vastly. Look up a local bhudist group. They will more than likely instruct you for free without requiring you to "join" their religion or anything.
