This book has been a difficult read for me. I’ve gone through long sections but find it a bit hard and sometimes boring. While I grasp the overall meaning, I feel I’m missing a deeper understanding. So far, I haven’t found many practical insights, and for now, I think I’ll pause reading and may return to it later.
I am at “Craving: the second noble truth”.

I’ve read the first two chapters of Shift Into Freedom and like it a lot so far. Right now, I’m feeling a bit too lazy to do the many suggested exercises, and I’ve started reading other books that have captured my interest more. So, I think I’ll pause this one for now, but it remains a great book.

I’m about a third into this book, and so far it’s amazing—eye-opening, fascinating, and very useful. The writing is clear and accessible, especially for Western readers. The author uses only a few Pali and Sanskrit terms, all well translated, making it easy to follow. It’s not difficult but invites taking time to absorb. I’m eager to see what comes next.

It is a very interesting and good book. The first two chapters were very interesting.

Absolutely great book, but a little bit difficult to read due to the traditional teaching style and language. I think this book was not specifically written for the western reader.

Quite good and interesting. But I paused this book, because I want to listen to "The Mind Illuminated"

By far the best book about meditation. This is my fourth reading!
