Query: Sincere but disappointing

This book was obviously written with great sincerity, so I hesitate to pan it. But I don't want people to waste their time and money, so I'll give my honest opinion.On the positive side, Titmuss has obviously gone very deeply into Buddhist practice and has earned a high degree of spiritual accomplishment. Moreover, the basic concept of the book is good - very short essays about varied topics which express Buddhist ideas in an accessible and practical form.Unfortunately, I found Titmuss' ideas to be very pedestrian. Few of his observations are very profound or thought provoking. There are so many wonderful books about Buddhism nowadays that there's no reason to waste time on this one. Much as I hate to say so, I would recommend that potential readers keep looking.
