I could review this book on this website, but I'd rather tell you about it face-to-face. That's a testament to the Sakyong's latest offering, "The Lost Art of Good Conversation", which reminds us of how enlightening and powerful connecting with each other can be in this age of speed, aggression, and gadgets.
This book was a good reminder for me, as I have become very disengaged from the art of listening and courageously reaching out to others for conversation. I think it serves those of us who have "gotten off track" very well. More importantly, we have an entire generation coming up who have always lived with email, Smartphones, IM, social media, and the like. They've never truly learned the art of a good conversation because it hasn't been required of them to formally function in our society (yet). But the time will come when they must, and this book is a good tool in teaching the nuances of making real connection, not in a Miss Manners kind of way, but in an uplifting way, layered with the benefit of recognizing one another's inherent dignity and the spiritual value we need to rediscover in one another.… (more)

The Sakyong's other writings have made deeper connections with me, but I still think there's value in this book for anyone who wants to approach their running regiment as a spiritual practice as well. I wish I had been able to read this when I first fell in love with running years ago (before it was published - nothing to do about that). Still, good insights for being present when running and how that can improve your journey, both on the roads and on your Path (with a capital "P").
Perfect for introverts who want to start a direct sales business! Anyone who feels disconnected from other people. This book is a must read. I'll be reading this again and again.
