I was skeptical after the first few pages, because I thought the author was yet another Californian writer who'd "discovered" mindfulness ideas that are 2,500 years old. But there were several passages and at least one chapter that made me put-the-book-down and reflect. I even wrote a couple pages myself just to think through her concept of "maintenance" before I could continue reading.

Some sections could have been trimmed, but there are enough convincing - and extremely relevant / applicable - ideas in this volume that I'm very glad to have read it.
