True to its perspective and message, this short book of aphorisms does not engage the reader's mind with explanation, argument, or analysis. The introduction by the author is the only context provided for the pristine insights and observations making up the body of the book. Rather than a shortcoming, this presentation, that is the simplicity and directness with which the words and thoughts are expressed, was felt by this reviewer to make its reflections all the more powerful.

For those interested in having laser-like reflections to help identify and dissolve the deepest assumptions and habitual beliefs they have about the world and who they are, this book is a unique source. And it is in that dissolution, that great undoing, that we find resolution to the question posed by the author in his introduction: "Why can't I get to some state of balance, be content and stay there?".
