Pros & Cons
Pros
For anybody loving to be here d now. There is so much insight in this book, it's amazing. The book is transcribed from her lectures and classes.
Joko beck teaches people to practice with the life that they have, with a certain amount of equanimity. Charlotte beck takes a simple, straightforward approach to the question of why we suffer.
Cons
Joko is to zen buddhism what strict no-fun-allowed nuns are to christianity. In my opinion, this book is poorly written. It also seems to lack the gentle guidance that i believe someone with true insight is capable of.
