kateraed's review
2.0
Solidly okay. His concepts are pretty sound as far as practices and virtues that support resilience, though I have strong feelings against his emphasis on humility and self-sacrifice/kenosis (seriously, why is that the only greek word that men use from scripture? It only appears once. That's not enough to base a life on.)
If you like lots of storied illustrations of concepts, you'd probably appreciate this more than I did - I found them unnecessary elaborations.
Also, this is perfect for people who love bulleted lists of things. There are times when his suggestions for practices or self-exploration questions are pages of bullets, which I found it hard to focus through.
In sum: good concepts, but in a format for someone with pedagogical preference for narrative and lists.
