mostly good

Revisado: 10-30-24

Couple of things... the politically-affiliated topics the author chose to demonstrate the "rightness" of secular morality make this book mostly pointless to share with right-leaning religious people. If the author was attempting to reach that audience, mostly it will fall on deaf ears. He did not take the time in the intro and conclusion to understand that audience enough to engage them in any kind of appeal - which sucks for me, I was hoping to utilize the other 90% of this book for just such a venture, but the caveat I'd have to enact to get my religious audience to ignore that 10% and not the whole book on principle is pointless to attempt to construct. Also... for as many science-based academics and intellectuals out there who appeal to athority to laude modern climate science for unscientifically (i.e. without falsifiability) proclaiming itself incontrovertible and literally name-calling any arbitrary research that doesn't validate its stance, seem to be as blind to their own dooms-day biases, shaming, and religiousity while not taking proper moral actions that would morally right the situation (e.g. man-made-global-warming adherents still drive cars, have developped psychosis-level anxiety in their children, and wail for some BIG FIX to come and save everyone ... because it's unreasonable that in the face of total world destruction that anyone should have to change their lifestyle voluntarily). Something the author and any religious adherents (does it fill you with rage when someone disagrees?) should consider in future editions.

this definitely picks up where Tao and Zen left off. it's a great use of original ideas and more than just self-help. to use a zen adage a Monk falls down in the snow and cries out for help, another Monk passes by and throws himself down in the snow and the first Monk then picks himself up and keeps walking. this book helps you realize you are the first Monk even as you're lying in the snow
