Excellent approach to a developing field. Very well structured with suggestions and stories. I’ll be summarizing this book to my QA team and likely ask them to read it also.

Here's the thing with O'Donohue. He writes mystically and poetically. I'd rather hear him speak than read his words. Actually, reading it on Kindle is a weird, weird trip. I think this is one of those books that you have to have in print, in hand, with a cup of coffee or a pint of porter at hand, sitting on the deck overlooking a natural scene.

I LOVE the guy, I just find that it's hard to read this particular book in the form that I have it.

Not up to the usual par of Murakami‘s work. Missing are the normal elements of the mystical, mythological slight twists of reality to move you into an altered world. Here, the mystical elements don’t go anywhere and just end up as loose strands in an otherwise wrote story.
