What a great book. I need to read this again and again. Here's an excerpt that I really liked.
"Complaining & reactivity are favorite mind patterns through which the ego strengthens itself. For many people, a large part of their mental-emotional activity consists of complaining and reacting against this or that. By doing this, you make others or a situation 'wrong' and yourself 'right'. Through being 'right', you feel superior, and through feeling superior, you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego."
