My Thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity and clarity contained in this book, as well as the manner in which centuries-old spiritual wisdom are distilled into practical teachings applicable in our daily lives. The book also emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and presence as antidotes to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. A shortcoming for me is that I found some of the writing somewhat repetitive and esoteric at times.
