Interesting if quite simple book.
The throughline of the 'pilgramige' was a concept I'd not given much thought to. It has made me pick up a copy of 'The Canterbury Tales' to read.
The stories were fun to read and often insightful - taking excerpts from all around the globe. I found the tales. specifically about the psychotherapy patients in the 'loony bin', to be the most engaging and interesting to read, if at time a bit disturbing. The general insight into psychoterapy was useful and I made many notes about this, however it wasn't anything I hadn't read before - just reframed by Kopp's experiences.
I found towards the end I didn't engage so well with the described dreams. They were very personal and not what I really wanted going into the book.
This book also helped me absorb in a way I hadn't before, the zen teachings. Kopp speaks about these in a way that resonates with me personally.
