This new book from Zen teacher, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and critical favorite, Barry Magid, inspires us to outgrow the impossible pursuit of happiness, and instead make peace with the perfection of the way things are. Including ourselves! Using wryly gentle prose, Magid invites readers to consider the notion that our certainty that we are broken may be turning our pursuit of happiness into a source of more suffering.

Very uneven narration
Revisado: 08-21-15
I enjoyed the content of this book. Barry Magid writes clearly and with humor. The narration is quite choppy and this seems the result of sloppy editing - phrases are inserted here and there which have a different tone and speed from the speech that surrounds it. The result is jarring and distracting, not the manner one for which would wish in a book on this topic.

Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent of the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there were a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

Gets old after a couple of chapters.

This was probably much more enjoyable as installments. As a single work, the juvenile style of humor starts to wear thin pretty quick and the long-winded displays of scientific and technical knowledge and prowess become tedious.
