Tactical, practical, theoretical, and strategic. This book and the simple ACT methodology weaponizes the most dynamite form of Viktor Frankl’s framework from MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING, forged on an anvil of stoicism and quenched in a refreshing bucket of mindfulness. I’ve been interested in mindfulness and CBT and stoicism for years, but the missing piece has been integration and implementation. This book IS that missing piece. Recommended.

Solid, honest read about the ups and downs of the startup experience, warts and all. Very accessible reads for normals / non-startup people, with a somewhat bittersweet tone and lots of actionable advice.

Goodreads users who wrote one-star reviews for this cute little impulse-buy bestseller book seem like grumpsters. It’s a sweet little summary of concepts, inspirations, and motivations, cross-threaded with history & poetry of Japan, meditation, impermanence, stoicism, Tai chi, nutrition, and more. Kind of an awesome gift for mom — yours or someone else’s. Four stars, just for the haters! ✌

A foundational & magisterial text; I would recommend this to all those who seek the benefits of meditation but who perhaps struggle with the metaphysical aspects, those curious about the mind and its myriad design quirks and cognitive distortions, and those open to finding parallels between science and philosophy (ahem Hofstadter ahem Gödel Escher Bach). Enjoyable, integrative, smile-inducing, not preachy, commendable in its goals and execution. Five stars.
