Stillness is the Key

A really disappointing book. Holiday totally oversteps himself in trying to write something original (albeit borrowed from a million sources) but the deeper he steps into profoundity the more he reveals his inauthenticity. I was prepared to initially write it off and something that might be useful (as a triumph-of-marketing-over-useful-information) for younger people but ultimately I am left just thinking that this is the worst that popular philosophy writers have to contribute. A bunch of words that are no better than your average political campaign; sounds good to the unsophisticated ear but in reality is just the words of a commissioned speech writer. Yes a good story teller and writer but empty and inauthentic and useless and not nourishing for humanity.
