Title: More disappointment
Review: I was very disappointed in thee didactic, dull, and heavy tone of this book. I've practised buddhism for more than 25 years, and honestly find the approach outlined in this book among the least attractive, least helpful, and most naive of the many books I've read. The title 'to Make Our Life Happy and Meaningful' especially rings false to me. Of course this is a lovely thought but I didn't read anything in the contents of the book and the practice it describes which made me happy or which clarified anything. Instead it left me confused and irritated. Perhaps some of the awkward writing is due to translation difficulties, though the book credits no translators -- a point of suspicion, as an enlightened author always credits his or her translator -- and one that added to the didactic, pedantic tone of The New Meditation Handbook.
Is the review positive or negative?
