It sounds like you've overcome some programming that kept you overworked and under-rested. I'm proud of you for learning to be gentle with yourself!
Meditations is great, but it is also absolutely ruthless. If you're in a place of needing gentleness it's maybe better to start with the lecture I posted elsewhere in the thread. It's much more palatable coming from Sugrue.
What other books have helped you a lot with life and living? I am in a place in life where I'm absolutely devouring that stuff and would love some recommendations!
