An alright introduction to how to a buddhist thinks ethically. The title is a reflection on the fact that being good is often about behaving as others find acceptable. This is not the buddhist way, instead one has to think creatively as to how to apply certain principles on ones daily routine.

Great advice for someone who (like myself) is planning on vagabonding for 7 months this year.

By far the most psychadelic book I've ever read. It is enthralling.

Pretty good so far. A scientists explanation of what happens in the brain when you meditate and how we can avoid the monkey brain.

It is tempting to say that this is a masterpiece (it remains to be seen however). In any case I am overwhelmed and afraid at this point. Houellebecqs depiction of the decadence of the west is depressing and not so far from the reality (I would imagine).

I believe in reason and an open public discourse on all forms of beliefs. This book was recommended reading by Sam Harris and so far its been an interesting exploration of the implications of freedom of speech.

Better than I expected! The author first describes his own personal journey to psilocybin (the psychadelic chemical in mushroom and LCD) and then proceeds to explain how it can help us transcend the boundaries of language and culture.

"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind"

Pretty good so far. I intend to start a business with my best friend and he recommended I read this book in order to get ideas flowing.

Better than I expected so far. Learys prose is lucid and easy to follow.
