Well, it's written from a Buddhist perspective, but it's very gently handled - the idea is to observe your thoughts and emotions without really trying to change them, and to face your boredom/craving/hurt feelings, noting the things you do to try to control them. The idea is to just kind of accept all of the things that your self is doing but not to be defined by them, to stay in touch with All That Is, with the parts that are somehow bigger than that. I'm not really doing it justice, but it's really helping me a lot to let go of some of my habitual self-blame and condemnation and (conversely) self-indulgence, because it's harder to do things mindlessly.
