More of a memoir that left me pretty interested in and sold on meditation

Both hilarious and insightful, it reminded me of the importance of meditation and mindfulness. I borrowed a digital copy from the library, but will be purchasing a physical copy for our collection.
I also think this is officially the most highlighting I've done in a Kindle e-book.

Overall pretty good, and I really loved this:
Humility Prevents Humiliation
We’re all the stars of our own movies, but cutting back on the number of "Do you know who I am?" thoughts made my life infinitely smoother.
When you don’t dig in your heels and let your ego get into entrenched positions from which you mount vigorous, often irrational defenses, you can navigate tricky situations in a much more agile way.
For me humility was a relief, the opposite of humiliation. It sanded the edges off of the comparing mind.
Of course, striking the right balance is delicate; it is possible to take this too far and become a pushover.

The beginning was annoying but I'm glad I persevered - a journey of attempts to combine American Jewish striving competitive careerism with Buddhism - largely successful
