Sissoo recommends this because it puts a big idea into simple language. Its question-and-answer format feels like a conversation, so it is easy to read a little at a time. It invites you to notice your thoughts and emotions, rather than be carried along by them.

If the book sparks an interest in presence and stillness, you might like to explore Meditation or Spiritual Guidance with a Sissoo practitioner.
