Some of the chapters are spot on and helpful while others are not accessible to me. I wish that the chapters on awareness had more concrete steps to take to understand what is being communicated. The ways to sit with fear and shame, anger and other difficult emotions are very valuable however. The guided meditations are well written and helpful.

I completely despised this book. Which is not to say I am certain it is a bad book. Merely to say it was absolutely a terrible book for me, personally.

I think there were some reasonable messages hidden in here in between language I absolutely cannot stand, metaphors I found insipid or annoying, and endless discussions on meditation and Buddhism, which frankly I have no interest in. The latter, of course, I could have seen coming.

I appreciated the anecdotes and Brach’s vulnerability. This is one I will likely listen to again.
