itsleeves's review against another edition
there is nothing profound about this book. lt is a very low level, basic explanation of just not being a shitty person. chewing your food into a liquid will not effect your emotional outbursts.

Simply written, but so profound. The author makes it seem like you can fix every relationship in your life in just a few hours. I suspect the reality is not nearly so clear-cut. I think that if you could actually enact this system of living in the world you would achieve sainthood. My sense is that the average person might be able to integrate a few suggestions over a long period of time. However, the author is amazingly wise and his advice cannot help but have a positive effect on the reader.

you don't have to consider yourself an "angry person" to gain insight from this book! aspects of the text should be taken with a grain of salt, especially when he gives advice on eating in the beginning, but don't let those tidbits stray you from the larger points he's getting at; his Buddhist perspective has really helped me deal with personal frustrations & worries & it might help you too :)

Nothing wrong with the book at all. Just not in the right headspace go continue reading.

Anecdotal but filled with insights. Includes real practical skills (mindful breathing) even if you skip the Buddhist elaborations.
