Yeah... I find him refreshingly honest in contrast to the predominate western notion of meditation as a panacea. Few of his peers really elucidate the breadth of challenges of the dukkha nanas (the "dark night"), and none of the "apps" do (Calm, Dan Harris, Headspace).

I also really love the breadth in his analysis of awakening models. I would love to see this paradigm more often: here are the models of thought in this subject, and the pros and cons of each.

... and the "Fira Kasina" chapter was an absolute trip.
