Enlightened

This is a loving, enlightened, literate, shrewd, poetic, helpful, centering book. I highly recommend it.

Lipson provides a refreshingly laid back approach that inspires one to get started and have fun with it. Along with Kuhlewind's "From Normal to Healthy", I'd say this is one of the best descriptions of this particular path.
