The points made by the Dalai Lama in this book (first half, anyway) were interesting, and maybe useful, but could have been summed up in less than half the time I spent on the first half of this book. I could have done without the additional, clarifying comments by Cutler after the Dalai Lama made a good point - that just annoyed me.
What annoyed me most was the reading of Dr. Cutler. He should have chosen someone else to narrate - someone with more tone and inflection. His reading left me feeling like someone was reading from a text, instead of carrying on a conversation, talking with someone. That left me feeling bored, and I found myself tuning him out, which made finishing this book pointless, if I wasn't going to actually listen to it.
I finished the first half, but opted to not even try the second.
