Rinpoche offers an incredible amount of information in this concise title by emphasizing the importance of compassion and universal responsibility, showing how we can make this life meaningful, giving a brief explanation of the nature of the enlightened mind and how we can attain it, offering an amazing and extensive explanation of emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality, by analyzing the way various phenomena exist and finally teaching us how we can successfully meditate on emptiness.
"The most powerful, immediate way to stop problems is to remember emptiness. You should especially remember emptiness when you are in situations where there's a danger of giving rise to strong anger or uncontrolled desire and creating heavy negative karma and causing great harm to others." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche

This the real deal.
Lama Zopa provides a brief overview of the graduated path, an explanation of the critical importance of understanding impermanence and emptiness, and then provides a series of meditative exercises for attaining a direct cognition of emptiness.
This is a most profound text.
For the beginner, it will help develop the correct intellectual understanding of the highest prasangika madyamika view of emptiness, which is extremely subtle and borders perilously on the edge of nihilism. This is why they call it the razor's edge. It is beyond ill-advised that one engage in the study of emptiness absent the supervision of a qualified instructor, such as a Tibetan Geshe lest they make the grave mistake of nihilism.
For the exceptionally rare person who has attained enough single pointed focus and suppleneness of mind to engage in vipassana, it serves as the basis for one of the most profound of realizations. The realization that extinguishes all suffering. Next to bodhichitta, this is the most precious state of realization one could attain and is actually foundational to all virtuous states of mind, including bodhichitta and great compassion.
This is why Lama Zopa's commentary here is so profound.
Others have said this is a repetitive text. But as I said, it is a meditative text. It is not meant for casual reading, ego gratification or mere intellectual curiousity. It is meant for the elimination of ego and self cherishing. It is highly practical. It should be approached with a very serious mind, more so even than one would other serious disciplines such as medicine, law or engineering.
In order to realize emptiness, a qualified student must first have the flawless intellectual understanding of emptiness and then--under the supervision of a qualified teacher--they must have enough shamatha to engage in vipassana, the eventual result of which is a doubtless realization of emptiness and of which, this text is a most concise aid for doing so.
Therefore this text should not be approached casually.

In response to a previous reviewer's comments, I did not find this book repetitive. Any repetition found either adds emphasis or elaboration onto the topic of discussion.
