Excellent. Aphoristic, brief, witty, often contradictory, but in a good way. Where the aphorisms run against one another, they actually allow themselves to be applied situationally--which is one of the nice things about aphorisms, really. There is no one system, and aphorisms allow you to weave in and out of the different systems, styles, ways of being, etc. This is one of my favorite books of all time. It is so, so clever, and yet also morally good.
