Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle

4.0

I enjoyed this book. It was by turns incredibly touching and a bit too sappy for me, and the difference depended more on my mood than it so I think that's a positive. It walked that line of meaningful fairly well. I was a bit frustrated at times with the Spanish pieces which weren't always translated clearly enough for us non-speakers, and it could seem a bit repetitive after a while, but as a collection of entertaining stories, thoughts on the nature of evaluating charities, and meditations on the way to live a meaningful/spiritual life that helps others, I quite enjoyed the totality of it.
