Does anyone know any good introductory books on meditation? Preferably not too religious.

Not exactly what you're asking for but I've used this
https://www.uclahealth.org/marc/mindful-meditations
A book about the practice of meditation and the benefits of different kinds and levels of practice is Altered Traits. The authors did an analysis of all the current scientific literature. "Altered traits" refers to changes that occur even when you're not meditating.

Do not meditate if you are on the high end of the functional schizophrenic spectrum, or have suffered from depersonalization/dissasociation episodes (Specially if characterised by existential dread).

I did and it sent me to hell on Earth for a couple years, till I learned to cope, this only seems to happen to people who are already a bit off their rocket tho.

"I am that" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
A 100 dialogues where seekers ask him everything ever about his 'realization'. The meditation is primitive, the answers cover more ground than you'd even care to know, it doesn't rely on any scriptures but is compatible with a lot of religious thought.
