I picked this up in March 2020, read about 30% and then dropped it, picking it back up in September 2020. It was a good book for me, and I will revisit it again when it makes sense. The reason for 4 stars is that I simply cannot fully take advantage of some of the guidance because I don’t have a ‘practice’...yet. I felt a layer or two of self awareness peeling back for me as I read through it. Very easy to read and follow. I probably wouldn’t have picked this up on my own simply because it’s currently outside of my reading choices as far as philosophy is concerned. So I appreciate the recommendation. All that said, it’s no surprise that there is a lot of overlap between western (where I focus most of my attention) and eastern philosophy, which I’m starting to appreciate a lot more as I read and learn from diverse sources of wisdom.
