I acknowledge that I know little of Buddhist traditions, outside of a common American's awareness of zen. The author's perspective, though, was not at all what I associate with Buddhism and I found it completely unappealing -- life is awful, it always has been awful, and even if we make progress in reincarnation it will still be awful, but he knows the One True Way out of the mess. I made it about 40% through, giving it the college try, but just found it too unpleasant.
