Few of his peers really elucidate the breadth of challenges of the dukkha nanas (the "dark night"), and none of the "apps" do (Calm, Dan Harris, Headspace).
Ingram is one of the most advanced meditation practitioners in the west, and this book is a painstaking mapping of the development of attention. I’ve read nothing like it.
