Ugh. That book is to eastern philosophy as The Alchemist is to young middle class white girls’ world view.

It’s an alright book if you’ve never read any Buddhist texts. But basically it’s inert and vapid. A good starting off point, I suppose.

Edit: that came off with a lot more heat than I intended. I didn’t mean any offense, just that I found it to be largely in the same category as The Alchemist. If it helps anyone, then it will have done its job.
