Overall, I think this is a good book, especially in the non-fiction/self-improvement category. I didn't really want to read it, but it has received so much hype, so I pushed through and I am glad I did.
I worried it was going to be WASPy, but it really wasn't--maybe a bit individualistic/western if anything.
Highlights:
Nothing can be healed if it’s not sensed first
Mercy and empathy are great threats to an unjust society
Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else
Layering a judgment on top of a feeling doesn’t change the feeling
