The Great Failure: A Bartender, A Monk, and My Unlikely Path to Truth by Natalie Goldberg
2.0
Meh. I've always enjoyed Goldberg's writing, but this one was...fraught. Painful, messy, uncomfortable. Like life? Maybe. But not really such an enjoyable read, nor do I feel like I really learned much through the experience or came away with much new insight. There were some touching moments, but...yeah. Hmph.
In some ways, I feel like Goldberg *needed* to write this book, and that's cool. But somehow I'm still not convinced that I needed to read it.
