It was a very fun and enlightening read! I really enjoyed Harris' sense of humor in his quest to understand the culture of meditation and Buddhism. It is a very personal story told by his own judgment and view of the world and I think he did a great job to tell it in a honest way, with no arrogance.
The good thing is that he demystifies meditation and try to bring a more practical view on it and he convinces us that the practice brings plenty of benefits, backed by his own experience. Like he himself says: “If I can do it, anyone can do it”. He brings a critical discussion on various aspects of meditation and Buddhism ideas. It was very delightful to follow his search for answers on subjects related to spirituality, compassion and mindfulness.
