The mindfulness pieces of this book were spot on, and a good explanation of mindfulness, with some meditation practices that I found helpful. Since I've already read mindfulness books before though, this wasn't new or exciting information. What I really wanted out of this book was more about Nonviolent Communication. Unfortunately, most of the NVC advice contained here boils down to "Think more before you talk, and talk less." Which is good advice if you, like the author, are a cis het white man, but isn't actually good advice for everyone. First I followed the advice for a bit, then I realized that it was silencing of my voice in a way that was detrimental to the clear communication that this book claims to teach. The point is to make room for the voices of others, but there seems to be no awareness on the part of the author that for equality to be reached, those being too loud stepping back is only one part of the equation. Those being too quiet (because they had previously been silenced) also need to speak up.

tl;dr Read this if you're a straight cis white man. If not, read some other mindfulness book.
