Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-05 00:00:00 James Dunham The book successfully communicates the information it intends to transmit, especially with respect to conceptualizing the idea of mind. The first few chapters specifically are a fascinating read which personally for me made a lot of sense in terms of how dynamics of mind can be interpreted and analyzed. However the chapters on dealing with disturbances of mind seemed a bit too generic and didn't seem to add much value to me. On the whole the book was a wonderful read that successfully removed the religious elements of Buddhism and explained the psychological interpretations of it in such a way that it can objectively be absorbed by the reader. I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain a buddhist perspective on the working of mind and a basic understanding on a buddhist approach to life without delving into the religious elements. Also one other point that was impressive is that the book is absolutely to the point without any unnecessary exaggerations of ideas, thus its consistently maintains high quality across all its ~200 pages.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-17 00:00:00 Christopher Shadwick Goes easy once you get into it, although hard at the beginning with all the terms and philosophical discourse. 2 Questions as the outcome: 1) Egolessness vs self spiritual development (nibbana) 2) Householder balance (tranquility vs not caring/dully accepting everything that comes at you)
