Not a great reference, even for beginners. There are better books to start your meditation journey with.

Was a little disappointed with the last half of this book. While the author says he left the ending vague intentionally, it only makes the book feel unfinished and unsatisfying. I doubt I'll read the rest of the series.

Good read
4 stars
This was a surprisingly quick read for me. I finished the book much quicker than I anticipated, because I had quite a few things going. I shelved them all to plow through this book. Interesting concept that was executed well. The message is timeless, and in the age of AI, timely. I was captivated by the characters.
I do recommend.

Thought provoking. The personal experiences of a survivor, while the war in Gaza is raging, brought the conflict and its paradoxes home. The psychological aspect of the experiences he suffered, while "field testing" his thesis, paints a portrait of courage and cohesive thought. An absolute must read for anyone that cares about humanity.

Liked this book. It was a great bedtime read that kept me awake just long enough to make good progress. The the eyelids got heavy and I hit myself in the face with my kindle. Every. Single. Night. I'll have to follow up with the rest of the series when I get through my current list.

Very quick read. I love reading Walter Mosley because his characters just live. The world jumps off the page. Interesting concept that was well constructed.
DannyPelvic finished reading Elements Of Fiction by Walter Mosley (No)
I very much enjoyed Mosley's casual style in this guide to writing. He portrayed his personal process, and the lessons he learned in a relatable way.
