You'd think that as a someone who integrates mindfulness practices into therapy on a regular basis, I would enjoy this book more. But ugh, I just had an incredibly difficult time getting through it. Tried once as an ebook and didn't get far, then struggled to get through the audiobook. It felt very repetitive and dull to me.

The topics I enjoyed were learning how to notice the "self" who is observing, finding the balance between extreme/dialectical thinking, and using the reality of death to bring meaning to life.

Overall, I think the book's concepts would be incredibly helpful for someone learning about the concept of mindfulness, non-judgmentalness, and self-observation. But if you've already studied the topic a lot, it felt like a repeat of a lot of ideas.
