The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Short and sweet
I'm a fan of Rick Hanson's work. He always manages to add information he hasn't used before. I usually go through and bookmark the meditations so I can easily access them later.

Too Simplistic
When I'm being eaten alive by stress in the workplace, I need specific techniques and tools to keep my sanity.
Instructions to "Take a deep breath and think happy thoughts," followed by ten seconds of dead air is not what I'm looking for. At first I thought my player had malfunctioned.
I'm not saying the author isn't correct, but it's too simplistic to be of any use to me.
