Here's simpler solution - do the f*g job and you soon will receive as much insights as you want. People can wonder about insights if they don't dig deep enough and stop halfway there.

This short book got very precise information about how you could get the flesh/thunder light in your mind to solve the problem that troubled you for long.
It suits for personal and professional usage. Basically you need to practice breathing techniques, inhale exhale relax to try to slow down your breathing. Some people can get the insight/ inspirations while walking, jogging, swimming, some just easily get this before falling asleep.
We also feel this when we are actually listening to someone's sharing new ideas, we got distracted for a small moments and it just solved your own problem, gave you new ideas.
It mentioned about self practice, i obtain this insight that clear my obstacles of mind mostly through reading, jogging, and even very often watching movies can give me the new way to exam how i see my own life.
A peace of mind if very important, you can not see the whole picture while you are not in a calm condition. Keep thinking, keep learning, keep letting go!!

This had some good ideas although I find that I already knew and used everything in the book. This is okay because the book tells you that you already know these things abyway. It wasn't so much what the book was saying that helped me have insights rather than the noise of someone speaking(audiobook) in the background that made me zone out. I enjoyed it. I think that it is a good book to read if you want to learn more about insights.

Insight: If you start with no content, add no content, then no matter how many times you repeat it, you still have no content.

I made it through 75% before I stopped wasting my time. It is a compendium of repeated words, cliches, mixed metaphors, and unrelated anecdotes borrowed from their lives and the lives of their family and friends.

It is interesting, but reads more as a workshop overview. Many of the exercises require other people. Overall, it's about how to keep your mind relaxed so that you don't get too caught up in seeing things from only one perspective, but are open to making connections with other concepts.

It’s book was ok. There were a few interesting techniques but for the most part I would not brother with this book.

I was initially disappointed with this book. It was very short on practical advice and long on anecdotes. On further reflection, though, insight doesn't have a lot of techniques -- you either recognize how to do it or you don't. The best an author can probably do is walk you around it until you suddenly realize what all the words are about. Then all of the words are meaningless.

Maybe I need to have Insight State of Mind to read through this book again. Intellectually understood but not yet "aha" moment for me. Will do the on-line learning. Maybe my "aha" is that Zen is about this state of mind.

Practical and helpful. Too many books like this are based on techniques and quick fix ideas to get insight. This book helps us to learn to let go of trying to think your way into insight moments. A great book. I got a lot out of it.
