4â­ This book is part speech, part interview, so it lacks some of the depth of her other works. But it also more directly addresses a few types of failures, providing added value. I recommend it for people who want to dip their to into her work or Buddhism, but it's also a great read for seasoned readers of her work or Buddhism.

A must read, especially for perfectionists. Really short, easy read.

The question is, are you going to grow or are you going to just stay as you are out of fear...I suggest finding the willingness to go forward instead of staying still, which is essentially going backward, particularly when you have a calling in some direction. That calling needs to be answered. And it‘s not necessarily going to work out the way you want it to work out, but it is taking you forward...And that never can be a mistake

Leniverse I should read this passage out loud to myself every morning. 😕 7y

An interesting read. The book is the text of a commencement speech given 2 years ago in Boulder Colorado.
