5.0 out of 5 stars Three Books in One - A Book Good Enough to Read Three Times, October 29, 2008

By	Pavel Somov, Ph.D., Author of Eating the Mome... (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

There are three books in one - in this one book. The book is organized in 10 chapters - each with a stand-alone segment of analysis of one of the 10 oxhearding pictures. I first read only the oxhearding interpretations (that's book 1) - this was a few years ago. I then read the chapters by themselves (minus the ox-hearding interpretations) - a couple of years or so ago (that's book 2). I recently read the book as it was written - that's book 3.

Whichever way the story of your narrative starts - if followed all the way - it still ends up in an empty circle (which I am yet to see). Perhaps, it's time to re-read!

Pavel Somov, Ph.D., Author of "Eating the Moment: 141 Mindful Practices to Overcome Overeating One Meal at a Time" (New Harbinger, 2008)

5.0 out of 5 stars bought to write a school term paper, January 7, 2008

By	Mrs. Alice S. Franceschini (Petaluma, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had to write a school term paper. I chose Meditation so I bought this book. After researching a bit, I decided to change the paper's subject. I looked though this book but I have not read it.
