Title: Not worth the time.....
Review: If you are satisfied with short, strictly autobiographical stories about how Epstein discovered Buddhism in HIS life, if you are one of those people who like to approach a subject by storytelling: "I was like...", this book might be for you.To me, it lacked insight. Like one of the reviewer has written before: it is not deep but it is also not broad, it is not a nice read, it stops at the point, when it would be interesting to dig deeper. Even the attempt of Epstein to marry practices of Buddhism with western psychotherapy is not more than an attempt.It seems the author was so enthusiastic experiencing Buddhism in his life that he needed to write a book about it. That makes sense for him but not for the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
