Is there a objective book on how vipassana of U. Mahasi and S.N. Goenka works?

I have been practicing Vipassana in S.N. Goenka's lineage for two years. I have read some of Mahasi's and Webu's Sayadaw writings as well. The biggest hindrance I've thus come across is Doubt. Every now and then I find myself full of questions regarding the technique, especifically about the way it works in pavimenting the path to liberation. I would like some pretty direct answers to questions as 'why noting and paying attention to the movement of the stomach helps creating understanding' or 'how not reacting to sensations throught the body leads to insight' or 'how restraint of the senses and mindfulness leads to liberation' etc. I'm..

  1. 'why noting and paying attention to the movement of the stomach helps creating understanding' or

  2. 'how not reacting to sensations throught the body leads to insight' or

  3. 'how restraint of the senses and mindfulness leads to liberation'

  4. etc.

I'm aware that I may have read satisfactory answers to those questions in the past. But I really would like to get something directand easy to come back to, instead of reading full long texts full of heavy explanations. Thanks.
