Most of this book was very lovely. I will take any reminder of mindfulness that I can get!

But this was published in 1991 and much of it comes from texts/speeches before that from what I gathered (I listened to the audio so I'm fuzzy on the details) and so some parts (such as, a parent isn't happy until they are a grandparent, everyone should live with their big families forever, and other things that sound like a nightmare to this childless American millennial) had me going "ok boomer" out loud in my car.

But he's right on the big stuff.

We could all be a little more present. We could all care a little more for each other.
