It seems there is no beef with anatman being a right view for the spiritual path. The issue is the failure in Western non-traditional settings to realise the meaning of anatman. All these buddho-self-help authors using it to justify a new, more reified, self. Is that fair?

Other good teachers on DY (in addition to Kenneth Folk) include Culadasa (John Yates), Shinzen Young, Daniel Ingram, and Rob Burbea.

Ingram and Shinzen are both gold. Culadasa and Burbea are on my "to study" list still.

Started with The Mind Illuminated a while ago, but had some life issues come up and lost the thread. Will have another go at some point.
