Thoughtful and down to earth, full of common sense and compassion. A book I think I'll refer to often.

Don't let my three (and a half) star rating dissuade you from reading this. It's substantial, and I think it will help people. There was however an off-the-cuff remark about eating hotdogs or hamburgers for lunch that I found inconsistent with compassionate living, so I docked a star off.

I'm gonna need to come back to this time and time again. I need to take notes next time, to help map my thoughts and be able to revisit the key ideas quickly. There's a wealth of treasure in this book. Incorporating these ideas will be a lifelong pursuit.

This was a fantastic book, but it was also very dense with ideas. I took a lot of notes and will have to review them (and perhaps just reread the whole book) before I think I’ll “get” it all.

This is another book I will likely return to again and again. This time around, what I needed to read is: "The more we make friends with ourselves, the more we can see that our ways of shutting down and closing off are rooted in the mistaken thinking that the way to get happy is to blame somebody else." And: "The notion of aspiration is simply that you voice your wishes for enlightenment. You say to yourself, for yourself, about yourself, and by yourself things like, 'May my compassion for myself increase.'"
