5.0 out of 5 stars Not disappointed by a western writer, 4 Sep 2004
By A Customer
I am usually very cautious of western writers talking about eastern traditions. But this one made an exception: If you feel that contemplating death could bring you help in everyday life, then go for it and read it.
It is a practical and direct book (benefits from a female western writer ?), separated in short chapters with an "exercise" at the end of each. No blablabla about buddhism, but applications in everyday life and presentations of common pitfalls in the practice. This is obviously based on a lot of experience and teaching (and influence from a tibetan master, can't remember his name), as very often I found it touched the right point.
It talks about subjects we usually try to ignore (death, pain, illness...) but unconsciously have great influences in our lives. To be aware of them helps to relieve ourselves, or to know better how to deal with dying relatives.
Should say too that part of the book is dedicated on how to behave with a dying person, but to me the principles can be applied in our daily lives too.
I loved it and bought it.
