Title: Mastery of What?
Review: This book claims to teach mastery of awareness but does little more than tell you to "watch yourself" and write things down. It lacks any specific stalking techniques and gives very little help of any kind that would lead to "mastery." The "stalking" relies solely on you remembering to notice yourself, which is about the same as you might do while you're in therapy, a discussion group, or making use of any particular vehicle that entrains your attention a bit more to your daily thoughts/feelings/reactions.I don't see how anyone could give this book five stars.The style is simplistic and boring and the exercises strictly beginnerish. If you're the kind of person who has had NO awareness of yourself whatsoever in your entire life, or if you are 12-14 years old, this book might help you. But there are still many better books than this. I'd recommend spending your money on mastering awareness of a nice meal instead.
