Short and nice

Lovely short story

Three-and-a-halve star. Really liked this book, although the quality is not constant through out this book.

If you are looking for a book to get you started on meditation, this is it.
This is a valuable book for people with some meditation experience, too.

A great book, from which you can learn a lot. Although it is announced as
a book for young people, this is a book for everybody, no matter what age.

This is one of those books you want to keep, in order to re-read them later.

I read a Dutch translation, that does not seem to be in the Goodreads database, so I choose this edition, to keep track of the books I have read.

This book offers some practical steps to improve your daily effectivity at work.

The book is ad nauseam submerged in US culture, with its idiotic glorification of the military and sports, and hence the writer don't talk about "higher effectivty" but about "winning". The book offers some practical steps to enhance your effectivity though, and that military thing covers only two or three pages, also it doesn't require any esotheric knowlegde about those US sports. So if you can bear seeing the word "winning" on every page and can look through the culture, it is bearable and you can pick up a few things to enhance your day to day life.

Very bad signal to noise ratio, the book could be 70% shorten without loosing the main content.

This book could be 33% of it current size without losing anything.
