There are some helpful ideas here about staying in the moment. By staying in the present we can let go of pain from the past and avoid the fear that comes from projecting into the future. I could have learned that from a 12 step recovery meeting. I don't think I needed these 100 plus pages. The writing style is incredibly hard to follow. The author explains his own experience with suicidal depression and his moment of enlightenment that freed him from this chronic emotional state. So far, so good. He loses me when he gets into broad generalizations and didactic explanations.
