Almost halfway through. This guy spent the first 30% of this book annoyed that mindfulness and meditation felt too spiritual and unscientific. Then he read a book about mindfulness and Buddhism written by a white dude with a psychiatry degree and suddenly the author is like “WHITE BUDDHISM IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG- just… not Eckhart Tolle’s brand”

36% through the book and so far it has just been a memoir about this dudes discovery of mindfulness. Not loving it.

I generally have a rule I don’t read books with lower than a 4 star average unless it’s recommended to me by a friend. This had 3.77. I should really just stick to my rule, this book is exhausting. May be a DNF

I really need to start reading book descriptions. I’m enjoying this well enough but it’s very winding and not a linear narrative, which I think is more what I was in the mood for right now.
