Ugh. There are good lessons here. The work was done in pulling them together. I do believe in stillness, calm, reflection. But the preachy tone, cliches, and the unremarkable writing up and framing of his historical case studies and evidence leave me with a 2-star impression. I’m giving it one more star so that you know it’s not without value. There are probably many who need to hear and think about this message.

Author reminds us on the ancient wisdom by breaking down ideas into different chapters, each with a chosen role model as example. The ideas are easy to understand, yet not a lot of people can execute them fully, so this book is a good reminder to us.
