I’ve read several books by Epstein and as in his other writings, he is profound and accessible. While written with the specialist in mind, there is plenty for the lay reader to learn about Epstein, Freud, Winnicott and how their practices relate to Buddhist principles.

I could easily have given this five stars as it truly is that well-written. But even for one such as myself, with a background in both psychology and Buddhism, and a long-term meditator, much of the material was difficult to wrap my mind around.

I liked the book but i find the author`s writing quality somewhat weak. Also there are many concepts that are not that good explained. You need some basic buddishm knowledge and medium to good psychoanalysis. Overall a good book but not an easy read.
