An Unexpected Treasure

I got much more out of this little book the I expected to at the 50 % point. I was a bit underwhelmed by the first half, it was very analytical of the reason to meditate and the stories of those who do practice it. Please, I didn't need all that I just need the golden ticket, magic mirror. I wasn't interested in hear about that how it helped other stuff, I wanted instant gratification ! Ha ! Mr Simmons made me wait, and slow down to his pace before he gave out the very short, very simple and yet very impressive method. Captain Sparrow would find it perfect that is all comes down to the "rum." Read the book, you'll find out.
Some of my favorite quotes tom the book:
"The bad news is that shit happens.
The good news is that each and everyone of you has the power to control and change your experience of this shit when it happens"- Hedy Kober
"You have control over your work alone, never the fruit."-Bhagavad Gita
"You will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger" Lord Budda
" My religion is compassion":- Russell Simmons
"If you want others to be happy practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."- The Dali Lama
"The irony is, when I look around at a lot of so-called religious leaders today, I don't see a lot of compassion. I see a lot of judgement and even hatred, but not so much empathy."- Russell Simons
