review 1: Candid, genuine, humorous memoir. Interesting to read about Dan's experience in the competitive news business and what goes on behind the scenes. He makes meditation sound doable and I like how it was coming from someone who's not all touchy-feely. The author is self-centered and neurotic (which he admits) - as a result, some of his writing comes off as a bit sanctimonious and self-aggrandizing. 3.5 stars.
review 2: I respect the journey, and I learn from the voices of others. There are worthwhile worthwhile insights and entertaining pop cultural tidbits in this book. Yet, why does every person from Manhattan who writes a memoir (and it seems to be the memoir capital) seem to be afflicted with a neurological disorder where he thinks he is the epicenter of the U... moreniverse?Meditation may be valuable and tame the ego, but so does service and sacrifice, which are concepts with which Harris seems wholly unfamiliar. less
