The Well of Being
by Jean-Pierre Weill, Color Plates
Decent illustrations; very meh text/philosophy that's vaguely about mindfulness; very, very sexist. You get a strong impression of the author as "pompous white man who has issues with his mother." It's not a good look.
Facile use of Auschwitz and 9/11 as The Bad Things, in a book that was published in 2013? Has he been living in a hole since 2003?
At the very, very end, at the bottom of the very last page, there is a note: "... the man in this narrative is androgynous. He represents the Everyman and also the Everywoman." ...Right. The white man wearing a suit and a fedora is "androgynous" and represents "the Everywoman." I am 99% certain that he added this sentence after receiving (justly deserved) negative feedback towards the end of the process and didn't want to have to rethink the book.
