This is an excellent book for a hasidic understanding of prayer. The Introduction is worth the price of the book. For a straight guide to the siddur and Jewish synagogue ritual, I prefer Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin's To Pray as a Jew.
steinsaltz's practical approach with explanation is invaluable to understanding jewish prayer.
