I haven't read it. I'm not sure that I will! I'd love to see her live, though. Unfortunately, her book tour has few East Coast stops, and none I can see near me. I "read" her first book by listening to it on tape, twice. It was incredibly moving to hear her working through the four questions with the widow whose husband left everything to another woman, or with the woman who, as a 9-year-old girl, had been penetrated by her adoptive father. One shortcut I've been taking lately is to skip the questions and go straight to the turnaround: "My wife *should* be nagging me. I *should* be blowing off work." It's funny how such a trick can snap me into accepting the present (sometimes). Back to the subject of realizing the perfection of what is: Years ago I had a chum who took seminars with one Dennis Adams. (www.dennisadamsseminars.com) He came back from the seminar enjoying everything, saying, "It's perfect." He got the wrong order at a restaurant and said, "It's perfect." Apparently that was a key insight to be gained from the seminars.
