Title: Mildly entertaining but not inspirational
Review: Yes, this is a memoir. Yes, she's a good writer. But the book is irritating because I find very little in it to inspire the reader. I, like several others, see in the writing a self-consciousness in the trip that ties back to the book advance. Many times I wanted to just shake her and tell her to grow up and take responsibility for her life and seek some satisfaction and meaning by moving beyond herself. But perhaps, I already have the quiet mind that she mentions, and don't need to spend a year pursuing it.
