This is an excellent book to read, but worthless if one doesn't attempt to apply the teachings. Some of the teachings are unrealistic, 'like letting go of anger and not to worry about the future, the past does not define you etc'. But I suppose it is helpful for big time life dilemnas and its good to try and practise his teachings. Could also be tremendously helpful for criminals in gaol - it will give them self esteem. It is easy to read. Its not a book to read all in one sitting. Read a passage then absorb, then read another the next day.

Lots of concepts about letting go that are a little hard to grasp in the beginning. I find myself re-reading passages over and over as they seem deceptively simple but when you try and apply it, it's rather difficult! I have found it useful in that I am worrying less about the small things that used to drive me mad. I haven't finished the book yet. I find that I keep putting it down for a while then going back to it a couple of days later after reading something else in between. Definitely doesn't read like a novel.
