More importantly, Claude is really wise. He has a simple but very deep way of talking about the transformation of suffering. On almost every page I see sentences that are zingers- great pieces of wisdom.
I hope you are not scared away from this book because Claude is a Zen monk. There isn't a lot of Buddhist jargon in the book although there are a lot of references to how Claude uses his spiritual practices to deal with his own personal PTSD and other issues.
Check it out, buy it, whatever. Just read it. Claude's Book

i have only read a few chapters in this book yet i am struck by how Claude describes his experiences. He includes his feelings. i like that. i also like how he explains living in the present along with the past and the future - all at once. To accept and learn to live alongside our pain.
yes, I agree- I posted the book here because it is outstanding-- Claude does a great job of helping the reader get inside the mind of a trauma survivor.
