I started reading this Buddhist self-helper a couple of years ago and just wasn’t in the place for it at the time. I thought of it again suddenly this summer and felt like it would be a good time to revisit it. I tend to get into these patterns of reading where I have lists that I am trying to charge through as fast as possible—skimming and gleaning more often than immersing myself fully. So it was nice to take some time to settle into this and read slow and not think about the pile of books sitting on my bookcase. This is the sort of book you can probably always find something pertinent and useful in no matter when you read it.
