I didn't think much of this at first glance, talk about judging a book by it's cover! After the loss of my Dad I was going through a hard time. I started trying to learn more about spirituality and meditation, and I found this book. I assumed it was going to be another BS pretentious guru telling you just follow this path and you will have true happiness guaranteed.
But I found it to be the opposite, it was a very humble and simple beginners entry into meditation. Giving what seemed like obvious & too basic at first. But as I listened, many of the ideas really hit home. Being able to "be" but not keep overthinking, and heal from grievances. How we can love our enemies. That has been one of my hardest things in life, but the author put it in a way, that for once in over 32 years I could actually understand why I should love someone who does me wrong and hate me.
This is a fairly short listen, I will probably have to give it another go for a second round at some point, but I do suggest getting this and see for yourself.
