Review:This book had some remarkable passages, but was simply too sprawling to sustain interest over its 600+ pages -- not exactly what you want to conclude about a book about mindfulness, alas. The book pretty much preaches the same message preached in "Wherever You Go, There You Are," which is a more focused tome, and in my opinion, a better place to start for those interested in the mindfulness-based approach to living advocated by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I would give this book 3.5 stars, rounded up to fo... Read more

There is a "definite fundamental scheme of possible philosophies"(Aphorism 20), as there is of possible moralities(260), and particular philosphers and moralists merely fill in their respective places on these spectrums. Nietzsche offers a comprehensive critique of all such systems. T... Read more

Review:“Holding on to beliefs limits our experience of life … the stubborn attitude of having to have things a particular way, grasping on to our beliefs and thoughts all cause problems,” says Pema Chodron. She adds that our clinging to our beliefs “make us blind and deaf instead of alive and awake." Chapter 8’s essay on this kind of wisdom is worth the price of the book right there. When we blame others to justify ourselves, this action “imprisons us into a limited perspective of this world” thus caus... Read more

Review:Overall, the memoir was written well and the story told was compelling and ,certainly, interesting. Living here in the US one may never know what it's like to live in the middle of a war and having to constantly be on the run for your life, meager sustenance, clothing. My respect and admiration for sister Leymah to have persevered and survived such a traumatic ordeal is unwavering. However, I feel as though the reviews were a bit over the top as it relates to the story content. Perhaps, I am... Read more

Review:Little did the federal government know that when they protected wildlife sanctuaries they were doing more than protecting endangered species. They were in essence creating clandestine burial grounds for demented psychopathic Mafia murderers. In Staten Island "THE STATE WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES, WHICH WERE PROTECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT FROM ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT. NO CONSTRUCTION WAS ALLOWED; NO UTILITY LINES WOULD BE LAID. SURROUNDED BY HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF EMPTY LAND, THERE WAS LITTLE THREAT SOMEON... Read more
