Title: way too heavy for most readers
Product review: Unless you have been schooled on the fundamentals of Buddhist teachings (which I have not), this book will be way too complicated to be very useful in your life. It simply does not offer the kinds of practical insights that people need in order to change their attitudes and behaviors. The language is obtuse, evasive, just plain difficult to understand for the average college graduate with no background in psychology or religious theory. What a shame. It seems like Ms. Chodron is well qualified to really help people become more comfortable with uncertainty, if she would only write in a language more of us could understand.
