I really enjoyed this book, as a teacher and a parent I was waiting to find ridiculous ideals that someone thought up and didn't actually practice on children as so often happens. The hints for controlling awkward children made me smile, as I could give you names of kids I had taught who would behave as suggested 'might' happen. This is a well structured book suitable for all ages. Anyone starting meditation would benefit from the exercises, obviously with adults you would adapt them. The introductory pieces aren't too eastern, and the book is very religion-friendly to all paths.
