Well… there’s two general questions you might be asking, which are how to make sense of what he taught, and “was he a good guy or a bad guy”? The latter question is not useful, I think. Like any major public figure, he did some good things and some bad things.
Awesome, thank you! I had read the first couple letters in that series but haven't caught up with the latest. I'm also about 1/3 through Sacred Path of the Warrior—is that a good place to start?

Yes, I think that’s a wonderful book imo! It’s officially non-Buddhist, so it’s somewhat atypical of his work. It’s somewhat lacking in context (unless you did the training program that used to go with it).

That is, if you like it and think “I want more stuff like this”, there’s one more book from his Shambhala system, but then that’s it. Whereas with his Buddhist work, there’s dozens of his own books, plus —since it is mainstream—endless stuff by others on the same topics.
