One can tell the ideas discussed in this book are ethically driven. To me that is important, because I do not like feeling I need to fact check a book. This was my first exposure to the Dalai Lama and Buddhist teachings. Learning about it through scientific dialogue definitely gives one a unique perspective. This book has helped me obtain a far greater degree of personal peace. That in return has lead to amazing health benefits. If you are prone to stress, anger, frustration, obsession, or any other "destructive" feeling; this book could vastly change your life.

The book is mostly about the various states of consciousness. However, if you are interested in insomnia, dreams, or other sleep issues this book would be very interesting to you too.

This book has helped me understand why I connect with some and not others. It has also helped me verbalize my choice of companions to others I respect. This book breaks down what every human is looking for in socialization efforts from oneself and from others. If you have ever felt alone in a crowd, you may enjoy this book.
