It feels introductory to meditation, and to running. What I would have loved is diving into Meditation + running, whose surface it barely scratched. Would recommend for either a beginning runner or meditator, besides that it is rather benign.

I found this to be a very inspirational book and I had a desire to share it with others. I looked up the author, which is a buddhist leader, which all have the formal title 'Rinpoche'. This word to me sounds quite jolly to me and do like it. However, the author is currently under investigation for some #metoo claims. I do think being in a position like his, that chances are high for them to be true, but who knows. It left a real sour taste and I immediately lost the desire to share the book. However, the concept of the four stages, the tiger, lion, garuda (armed-bird) and dragon, were really intriguing. This entices me to read another book about the Buddhistic teachings and see what I resonate with.

It took me a long time to read this book. It simply didn't hold my attention despite the fact that it covers two of my favorite topics.

I attended the retreat based on this book, which was incredibly inspiring. However, the book was difficult to stay focused on: I found my mind drifting, which seems like the exact opposite you'd expect/want from a book on meditation!

I read this (I think) earlier in the year and completely forgot to log it. I'm not 100% sure if I finished it or not, but it was pretty shallow. It didn't have much to say on either meditation or running, and didn't really even talk about their intersection.
I *might* recommend it to an experienced runner who was just beginning to look into meditation. (And if I knew one of those, I would probably give them my copy)
