Bringing Home the Dharma: Awakening Right Where You Are by Jack Kornfield

3.0

One of my reading goals for the year was to get acquainted with Eastern religions and Buddhism specifically. This is only my second book in that vein, but I really learned a lot from it and look forward to reading more of Jack Kornfield specifically. His prose and presentation both seem to grow out of his desire to make the philosophy and teachings of Buddhism accessible to the common Westerner. There's a lot of psychological depth here, both in the material itself and in the stories Kornfield tells to illustrate it further. My main critique is that it felt a little too random and jumbled together at points. There were a few ideas I wished were developed further and I hope I can maybe find that sort of thing in his other books.
