I have no idea who Dan Harris is (I watch NBC) but I saw a blurb on my normal news channel about this book and decided to check it out. (I figured anything that could help reduce the stress in my life without a prescription was worth a shot)

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Granted I had no idea who half the people he referenced were, and I didn't care for the constant name dropping - it added to the writing instead of subtracting from it. This was a realistic approach and story of a man who's life (and career) was changed by meditating over the course of a decade.

A lot of insightful words and passages. A lot of references to other books I will probably be checking out at some point.

It is a "self help" book without coming off as one. A few tips from this I'll be taking with me into my future. I was pretty set on a four star rating until I got to the end. The end was pretty amazing.

Unrelated - I still have no idea who Dan Harris is. I Googled him, and yeah, he doesn't even look familiar.... sorry dude, but great book!
