its a fun book that manages a great synthesis of many different ideas/traditions and has a wonderful stylistic presentation

i love that its at least vaguely-leftist and vaguely-buddhist, but its only vaguely either of those things; its a bit too liberal and new-agey for my tastes ultimately

it lacks any critique of orientalism, colonialism, whiteness, systematic racism as such, authoritarianism, or electoralism

the book also leans heavily on its new age fore bearers, and suffers for it; blanton recapitulates many of the worst qualities and failings of the hippies, fordist liberals, and corporatized american zen buddhists

it also fails to draw on the rich anarchist tradition in the US, which might have ameliorated many of the works shortcomings

A very interesting book about the nature of truth telling and how to go about this in a responsible empowering manner.
