I really didn't enjoy the presentation of Buddhist teachings in such a 'self-help' format. I'm sure this is a great approach for some people, but it really didn't work for me. I found it tedious to read and sort of 'infomercial' like.

I did enjoy the final section, where DPR canters through the three yanas and the Abidharma without naming any of them. That was a nice example of how to present Buddhist teachings in a secular way.

This is a great beginner book on getting in touch with your emotions. It is filled with practical ideas and exercises. It would absolutely not be offensive to the most conservative of lifestyles. This would be a great book for teens as well!

4.5 stars. "Emotional Rescue" is a self-help book that shows how to take negative energy and turn it into something positive. I was intrigued by this book because one of my resolutions for 2016 was to meditate on a more regular basis. I have been doing pretty well but thought this book may help me out a little bit and it definitely did!

This book is going to make a great tool for me and I know I will go back to it again and again. What I like about this book is that it has a lot of lessons but it also has some exercises in order to reinforce the lessons. I like the way the author has the book laid out - lessons are simple and meaningful. While I read this book as a whole, I could see this book working really well reading a chapter at a time. This isn't a book that you need to (or will want to) go through quickly!

Mindfulness is powerful! If you have ever thought about trying to be more mindful or meditation, this book has a nice introduction!
