Author:Thich Nhat Hanh
To be honest, I was drawn to this book because of the cover.

It's a really nice cover.

Then I read the little blurb:

"a compelling vision of Buddhism and an in-depth analysis of the nature of consciousness."

Well, You had me at hello.

This book is honestly quite intense. It delves into some psychology and philosophy about how we think. There are lots of big Buddhist words, but you can get through the book without studying them.

Overall, I'd say it offers a good logical basis about how we think. There are times when I'd be confused with my nose IN the book, but once I snapped it shut and took things scientifically it made sense to me.

Digest it in little chunks, go slowly, and don't think too hard.

Thich Nhat Hanh is hard to follow sometimes but he is a wonderful teacher. I have several if his boojs but not this one. I will put it on my list.
