I tried one of his first books, mindfulness in ain English, and liked it alot. That book helped me understand a lot about myself and my behaviors. After practicing insight meditation, I would feel relieved and less stressed out, but not really "better" more of a how to manual about understanding behaviors.
With this book, I feel that I have a complimentary practice with my mindfulness. Metta practice, or practicing, loving kindness to all beings (starting with yourself, then growing your circle to encompass your family and friends. Advanced practice helps you love neutral strangers and people who are challenging in your life.
After a few sessions, I would feel a warm and gushy feeling emanating from my chest. After about a week of daily practice (15 minutes - 1 hour), I started feeling pretty good about myself.
After two weeks of diligent practice, I noticed little things in my life "falling into place." It's easy to slip back to normal habits, but with some practice, I'm able to practice "equanimity" as challenging situations are arising .
If you want to understand reality a bit differently, or just to feel good about yourself as you are now, then buy this book. You'll be a stronger, happier person for it. You might even start attracting positive, kind people into your life. We could all use that.
