As suggested by the author, I first read the postcards at the beginning of each chapter. Then I went back to the beginning to read the entire book. I quickly discovered I was not ready for it. By the time I got to a Chapter 3 I found that I was not far enough on this path to continue right now. I was not ready for the self reflection at the end of each chapter. This will go on my shelf until I am further along on the path.
