I highly recommend Adyashanti's True meditation book which can be found also in audio format in Vimeo:
Part 1, about meditation
Part 2, about meditative Self inquiry
Part 3, 3 guided meditations
First guided meditation is called: Allow everything to be as it is. Second: Let the Heart's will be done. Third: Meditative self-inquiry.
This was the first book I ever read about meditation and it was so good that it was also the last book I have ever read about meditation. It gave me everything I needed to know about meditation.
Adyashanti also has a collection of his teachings titled Death - The essential teachings that is worth checking out.
Also check out Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now He talks about finding peace in the midst of our turmoil.
Eckhart and Adya have lots of clips in Youtube. You might find something also from there!
May you find peace quickly!
Non-directive meditation is found in different traditions. The main one's I've found are:
Taoism
Buddhism
Hinduism
You also find it in other traditions:
Perhaps /u/sovereign_self has something in mind as well
True Meditation by Adyashanti. I've read a lot of books and this guy's the best.

It's shifting your attention in a very subtle way to resting as awareness itself.
The goal for this type of practice is always catered toward less and less technique. There's nothing wrong with focusing on the breath to help bring you into the present, but try allowing a few minutes at the end of each session to merely rest as awareness - the space in which everything else happens.
Adyashanti does a much better job explaining than me :) Check out some of his videos on youtube, or his book "True Meditation"
Meditation is just one facet of the gem though. For a concise version of the rest, check out ["The Way of Liberation"] (http://www.amazon.com/Way-Liberation-Practical-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1937195171/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) (Also downloadable for free on his website)
**If it's not obvious, I really like Adyashanti
Sorry! Forgot to reply, was on the go when I read this.
I haven't read much, in truth. I'm a musician, so sound is my thing. I've listened to probably over 500 lectures/audio recordings by Alan Watts and Adyashanti over the past year. Those two changed my life and opened my mind, allowing me to begin the process of becoming the real me. I'll leave you a few that really, really helped me. In terms of books, though:
