I still love this book.

This book feels pretty quick to read, especially after my previous book. It makes me want to run more and eat more veggie foods. I guess that's the point.

I'm guessing that I am 75% done. It is a little hard to tell with this MP3 version.

I am really enjoying this story so far. I find the setting to be fascinating - foreignness of a future Thailand is so much different than what I see normally.

I've finally gotten through the Introduction and am well into the text. I've completed up to chapter 11 of 25 in this volume.

I just finished the chapter on the impact of laziness on meditation. Too true.

I think the thing I find interesting about this book is that it is talking about things that affect meditation, but those things also affect how I move through everyday life.

I started reading this book last weekend. It was a Christmas present from Beth and Margaret in support of my request for a lesson in mediating from Beth. The chapter I read today presented an idea that I think makes sense even outside of meditating.

A step is preparing for meditation is declaring to yourself that you are going to start. I think that this can work to focus your mind on any activity.

Strangely, I'm at 46%, too. And, Melissa is right. A good audiobook makes time in the car on a road trip much more enjoyable.

Well, the other shoe has dropped. Wang should be very thankful for his wonderful wife.

All good so far. Hard work and frugality, plus a good wife who gets no credit, at all brings a marginally better life.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

So far, this book isn't quite how I remember it. The characters are no who I expected.
