Winner of BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR from COVR (The Coalition of
Visionary Resources)
"Emet's book serves also as a fine introduction to the Buddha's
teachings, as well as to their application to the art of sleeping
well. Readers may come to it attracted by its primary purpose. If
they read attentively and follow the program of exercises with due
patience, they will come away not only with changed sleeping
habits, but changed lives."
—Peter Clothier, Huffington Post
