Kindle Notes & Highlights
Our conventional sense of self is an illusion; positive emotions, such as compassion and patience, are teachable skills; and the way we think directly influences our experience of the world.
Spirituality must be distinguished from religion—because people of every faith, and of none, have had the same sorts of spiritual experiences.
The human mind does, in fact, contain vast expanses that few of us ever discover.
The way we think about experience can completely determine how we feel about it.
Our minds—and lives—are largely shaped by how we use them.
But it is your mind, rather than circumstances themselves, that determines the quality of your life.
