Fine collection of previously published works
By mytwocents
First let me address what, given many of the other reviews here, seems to be a common misunderstanding. This books is not, as many allege, simply a rehashing of material from Jack's other books. Rather, it is a collection of previously written material that is drawn from a wide variety of sources, including books edited by other authors, magazines and other periodicals. In fact, by a review of the credits given in the back of the book, clearly at least 17 of the 26 chapters are articles/chapters that were previously published in these other types of publications. These include Shambhala Sun, Inquiring Mind, Buddhadharma, Yoga Journal, Revision, and Tricycle, as well as various books edited by others. So unless you have encountered all of these chapters in their previous iterations in these other sources, it is unlikely you will experience this book as simply a rehash of what Jack has published previously in his own books. In that regard, there are, indeed, several chapters totaling perhaps a third of the book that were previously published in other of his own books such as A Path With Heart. I imagine that these were included to round out the book thematically so that it is somewhat 'stand alone', rather than simply a collection of articles and chapters not previously published in his own books. I actually love the fact that all these articles are now available in one place, and think it is a good idea to do this. Also, some of them (I am not sure how many) have also been updated in some way, which is also good. So please don't skip this book, believing what other reviewers allege that this is simply a redundant presentation of material Jack already published in his own books. If you have previous only read some of Jack's books, you will never have seen two thirds of this material.
On another note, I have been a long time fan of Jack's work, but I have to comment on the chapter in this book about Trungpa. The problem I have is something I have also observed in other books by Jack, which is that he has taken a strong position, which I agree with, against teachers who transgress certain principles of right conduct. In fact, Jack has gone to the extent of using various people in his writings as examples of those who have violated these standards or ethical principles. These include folks like Krishnamurti and Amrit Desai, for instance. But when it come to Trungpa, about whom there is a chapter in this book devoted almost entirely to singing his praises, there is only scant reference to the questionable aspects of his character. He calls him 'peculiar' in this regard, and then seems to imply that because Trungpa was open about his shortcomings, that this somehow made his actions okay. In fact, even reading the short discussion at Wikipedia of the controversies surrounding Trungpa seem to strongly indicate that he was not entirely honest about his 'peculiarities' either, such as the allegation that Trungpa used cocaine, and that this was keep secret from the wider Vajradhatu community. Also he did not renounce his monastic vows until 1969, whereas there are credible allegations that he was sexually active for 17 years before that. I won't go on with examples, but these are not the worst of the allegations. But there is no debate about the fact that Trungpa regularly had sex with students, which Jack says he is completely against.
It is hard not to get the impression that Jack has decided to not hold Trungpa to the same standards as these other teachers, or to the general code of teacher conduct which he advocates.
Indeed, Trungpa was a genius and a great bodhisattva in so many ways. This is my opinion too. But he also had some serious character flaws, and I do not give him a pass on these with the 'crazy wisdom' rationalization or because of his greatness in other ways. Great souls can be mixed characters. Let's be balanced and call it what it is and not play favorites.

Useful and Captivating Book by Jack Kornfield for Beginners and Experienced Readers
By lynn krown
by Lynn Krown, MFT
As a marriage and family therapist in Encino,CA, I utilize mindfulness training with my patients. For the past 20 years, I have been a student of Buddhist psychology and have had a mindfulness practice. Jack Kornfield's influence has been transformational. In my field, there is growing emphasis on brain neuroscience: how relationship with our earliest caregiver in the first year of life affects the development of the brain and abilities to securely attach, tolove and to self-sooth. Mindfulness, the practice of being present and aware, is a useful tool for anyone, but especially for patients that have difficulty with anxiety and early trauma. It is also a proven tool for therapists, parents, doctors,hospice workers, caregivers, people suffering from chronic illness and the dying.
In 2012, I completed two five day silent meditation retreats at Spirit Rock, founded by Jack Kornfield,in Marin County, California. The teachers who led the retreat are trained by Jack in the style and principles of Insight Meditation which Kornfield pioneered. I have read all of his books to date, and listen to his Dharma talks on his website,on Dharmaseed.com, and elsewhere, as part of my mindfulness practice and commitment to Buddhist principles outlined in this book and all writings and teachings on Buddhism for the West.
This book is accessible to newcomers and experienced mindfulness students alike. It is filled with stories of everyday people that the reader can identify with, which brings the teachings to life. As I read this book, which I keep with me in my purse so I can center myself during my work day, I imagine Jack's voice speaking directly to me. It is this quality of intimacy that the book offers. The book is consistent with the teachings that are communicated in Kornfield's writings,lectures and videos. With each new book and talk at Spirit Rock or elsewhere in the world, Kronfield displays ongoing engagement and clarity in the moment. This book is gem to be savored and tasted. It is also a helpful tool when I get lost in stress or anxiety; I can open to any page and find my way back to freedom.

Jack Kornfield is a great teacher, but...
By A. Max König
My first book of Jack Kornfield, A Path with a Heart, I have read in 1995 and only in retrospect I realize how his writings have been of great influence and help to my life. I can reread his books ( like "After the Ecstacy" or "the wise heart" ) again and again and find new insights. Years later I find advice which in the first reading I did not notice since "I wasn't there yet".
Jack Kornfield has a wisdom and personal experience, which is very humble and selfless and I find him to be one of the best authors inspiring the very practical aspects of spiritual life.
So why only three stars for this book? Two things:
Parts of the book is recycled texts from previous publications, which is a bit dissapointing. But there is another thing, which I found disturbing:
Kornfield has in his previous books very gently and very wisely taken up the issue of betrayal in spiritual communities and the fact that some teachers don't live up to what they promise, often in the areas of sex, power or money. I noticed that Kornfield was over time more open in mentioning this and also had in some books very helpful advice how to deal with such experiences.
Now to my suprise, Kornfield has a long chapter containing enourmous praise regarding Chögyam Trungpa, describing his amazing qualities on full 16 pages. The uninformed reader is left with the impression that Trungpa was absolutelty amazing and almost without any flaw. I am left with the impression, that Kornfield answers an "insider discussion" which only those having more information understand completely. In only one short paragraph he mentions that Trungpa "drank and was a womanizer" -- which seems after all I know quite an understatement. Brad Warner for example describes such issues in a good chapter "when good spiritual masters go bad", also mentioning Trungpa as "a problematic teacher to say the least",and his even more problematic successor.
I am not saying that Trungpa may not have had amazing qualities and that he created much good, as for example establishing Naropa and Buddhism in general in America and the West. But from Kornfield I had expected a more balanced presentation of Trungpa-- his later chapter on the "sex life of gurus" does not ease my uneasiness about the Trungpa chapter. The fact that he is controversial must be clearly stated and discussed in a chapter about Trungpa and not "covered up" in one-sided praise. It simply raises much bigger questions: If some ideals, especially the celibate life, fail so often in spiritual communities, be they Catholic, Buddhist or whatever, one has to honestly ask if these ideals cause more damage and hypocrisy than true help. From Kornfield I am used to see such discussions and I am really puzzled about this chapter on Trungpa, since it does not seem to be Kornfields usual style.
I still find much inspiration in large parts of his book. I do think his previous ones were better and I am disturbed by the Trungpa chapter the way it is written. Maybe since I have had my share of dissappointments in the Catholic tradition I grew up with and had so far thought the Buddhist community would deal better with these things.
