In my opinion Robert Holden really knows what hes talking about after working in this field for a long time. There are some real gems of wisdom here, especially his own hypothosis of takling unhappiness. This book is far more than the amalgamation of the many forms scientific and spiritual sources it quotes, as Roberts real understanding gives it so much more. engagement needed to get the most from this substantial works.
