Every time I read a few pages of this book, I feel better, I'm more with me and I can see from a different perspective my problems and my life. It gives comfort, support and treatment. One can, in contrast to "The Way Things Are" take very good, even if you're great cynics or skeptics, as Kornfield very understanding and holistically addresses the world and neither other religions devalues nor excludes groups of people. I highly recommend everyone in this world, this book! It is my constant companion and has made me a happier person.
