My favorite essay in this collection is by Michael A. Stusser - I chuckled almost the whole way through - Speak No Evil, Tweet No Evil. That's no easy feat because I don't find a lot of things laugh out loud funny.
The rest of the collection was also interesting, but a little difficult for me to get through as someone who has read a lot of these authors in the past. Barry Boyce had a great essay on Trungpa Rinpoche, though, and he wrote: "On the path of the warrior, you work with your fear not by pushing it down, but by 'leaning into it.' At that point, he taught, you discover fearlessness is not the absence of fear, but the ability to ride its energy."
